VMware Cleanup Disks

dachilla · #1 09-04-2017

Hi,

I have an old VM that I have to use quite often, but its painfully slow. I am thinking about using the cleanup disks function. However I'm afraid it might delete the cookies. Is that so or is it safe to do the cleanup disks?

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

What OS are you running on the VMWare?

What about getting a SSD hard drive - might that help?

I might get one in the future... You mean an external SSD hard drive and run the VM's on that one?

just make a copy of it, and run the cleaning on the copy, if it doesn't work as expected, do it again , and try something else like cccleaner or whatever

Ugh, Windows 10? yuck.....Id rather try to export the cookies and stuff off the browser and start a new VMWare.....that's just me personally.

For firefox is it cool to copy the profiles folder? The accounts running on the machine are about 6 month old, so maybe changing the machine wouldn't hurt them much... However downgrading from win 10 to win xp might look suspicious...

Hey guys, I just got a ghost account and I have alot of questions about the VM stuff.

so am I going to have to purchase a Microsoft windows key? to run the VM?
Also, does a VM only allow me to run 1 Amazon account? I called them but they're saying that it will only be able to run 1 Amazon account.

I really need help on this part.
I bought the VMware. Fusion 8.5 as they said that's the only one that's compatible with a MacBook. Now I download it and I find out that I may need to buy an activation key for windows?

im sorry but im lost here.

usually when running ghosts accounts I would just use my hotspot and it would work.

that what I was familiar with. But i read that this is the safest way also mentioned that this way allows me to run multiple ghost accounts? how?

would I need to buy multiple virtual machines to do this?? If so, they also mentioned I would need a separate computer for each virtual machine.

Which then means for every ghost I would need a new laptop... why not just use a new laptop rather than buying alot of VMs if only 1VM can be used per computer?
Am I missing something?

Someone please help me

You called in and asked them about Amazon Stealth and they answered? wow!

Figured that giving the VM more ram does the trick. Even win 10 now works like a charm...

Regarding the SSD that was proposed here. My m8 just got himself a new machine with SSD and VMware seems to be a pita. It takes ages to install the OS and even longer to open the browser. He's using VMware 12... He tried installing vmware on ssd and vm on hdd, both on hdd and both on sdd... same prob.

He's a noob tho.
