Questions regarding Virtual Machines

If you delete a virtual machine that's made in Hyper-V on windows10, will all the files that was made or installed into that virtual machine be deleted as well? or will it be saved in your normal desktop?

The files will be delete as well.

All files (OS + data) of your virtual machine are stored in a single file, the virtual hard drive (.vhd or .vhdx). If you delete the VM in Hyper-V you can choose wheather you want to delete the vhd file or just the connection to this file.
Edit: I forgot to say that there are additional Hyper-V configuration files for your VM (.vmcx or. xml) in another folder.

If you want to use your VM on another computer, you should use the export and import function.

Good to know, thanks!
