#Winclone image free
The shrinking process removes free space and contains only the used space. If the used space only amounts to 15GB (for example), then we can reasonably assume that shrinking the file system of the 41GB Boot Camp partition will result in a file system of around 15GB.
In the example below, the Boot Camp partition is 41.46 GB, which represents all available space, including free space. The file system size is generally identical to the partition size in Boot Camp, but it is not required. If this is all a bit confusing at this point, please understand that the size of a Winclone image as displayed in Wincloneis not the size of the Winclone file, it is the size of the file system, so if you use the Finder to click on the Winclone image and select Get Info, this Winclone image size will be much smaller than the size showing in the Winclone app. Since the used space on the image is ony 30GB, it will easily fit on the Boot Camp partition after the file system is shrunk down. Since the file system on the Winclone image is over 70 GB and the space available on the Boot Camp partition is only 41.46 GB, we will need to shrink the file system size on the Winclone image before it will restore to Boot Camp. However, the files on the file system are only using about 30 GB (we will see how this size is revealed after shrinking the file system as described below).
The example below shows a Winclone image with a file system that is 70.47 GB. You can then restore this new image to a partition that is smaller than the original file system. If you want to restore a Winclone image onto a partition that is smaller than the file system that was used to make the Winclone image, you need to restore theWincloneimage to a sparse bundle image, shrink the file system, then create a new Winclone image of the sparse image.
