Hi, I have a server with 32GB. I have a VM to which I'd allocated 10GB RAM. In total the server was using 23GB memory. I destroyed this machine as it was no longer needed and attempted to create another VM with 10GB memory. It fails to boot with the error, "Cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Cannot allocate memory". It seems the memory used by the old VM was not released, and the server is still using just over 23GB RAM. How do I free up the memory? I have VMs allocated 2GB + 1GB + 1GB + 8GB + 1GB = 13GB allocated, but 23GB of memory is being used. Thanks, Mike PS: Apologies for the formatting of this post, but the forum is stripping out my line breaks.
