    Just delete content from this directory and restart Hyper-v management service - C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V\Virtual Machines Cache

    Hello

    Thank you for your question and reaching out. I can understand you are having issues related to Delete VMs which are in Saved State.

    Please follow below steps to resolve the issue.

    Change the SAVE auto-off mode from saved state to shutdown or to power off - that should clear that state file.

    Then Open up the Hyper-V Manager.
    Right-click on the virtual machine that is having the issue to open up the drop-down menu.
    From there, click on the Delete Saved State option.
    Once the saved state has been deleted, try starting the VM again.
    If you face an error like “Operation cannot be performed while the object is in use“, restart the physical host and you should be good to go.
