Is the script safe and secure to run? Any theft or security concerns? Thanks.
Hi @TechGuy_MS1 ,
the script referenced in the first hyperlink of LeonLaude's answer is the same you asked already here:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/280428/powershell-script-to-reduce-os-disk-size-in-azure.html
And the second hyperlink is in an answer of your question as well ;-)
Just take a look on the scripts, see what cmdlets are used and search for the details in the internet. This way you get an idea what happens and if it's safe in your opinion.
