Hello AIACloudSupport16,

Thank you for posting your query here!

Resizing the OS disk of an Azure virtual machine (VM) involves several steps. Directly reducing the size of an existing Azure OS disk is not supported. Instead, you can create a new smaller OS disk by following these steps:

Shrink the Volume within the OS: Shrink the volume size within the Windows OS to ensure the actual data size is less than the desired new disk size.

Create a Snapshot: Create a snapshot of the OS disk.

Create a New Managed Disk: Create a new managed disk from the snapshot with the desired smaller size.

Create a New VM: Create a new VM using the new managed disk.
