Abstract
A method, computer program product, and system for managing storage space in a virtualized computing environment. The method includes a computer determining, by one or more computer processors, that a virtual computer system has reached a threshold level of minimum available storage space. The storage space of the computer system is searched for an inactive snapshot file. When the inactive snapshot file is located, the inactive snapshot file is moved to a secondary storage.
