How to resize virtual disk in Oracle Virtual Box Vbox

Recently i had to resize one my virtual disk on Oracle V BOX environment , thought to share the command used to resize the disk.

Command on VBOX is VBoxManage.exe

VBoxManage.exe modifyhd "file_path" --resize newsizeinMB

Example: To resize disk to 35200M

VBoxManage.exe modifyhd "C:\vmware-machines\Linux00001-02.vdi" --resize 35200

Few Thing learn

* you can extand the size of disk
* you can't reduce the disk size, even if its empty as its not supported VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED
* you can't resize .vmdk disk, as its not supported VBOX_E_NOT_SUPPORTED
