Regarding space reclaim on thin-provision virtual disk

$

Hello,

 

I have several question Regarding space reclaim on thin-provision virtual disk, can somebody help?

My questions are:

 

1、Sometime i delete files inside virtual machine, i see theoccupiedcapacity of the virtual disk decrease in VMFS datastore without manual reclaim, but usually it does not happen(the occupied capacity of the virtual disk does not decrease), why ?

2、According to the statement(Plese look at 1.png), does it mean we can do virtual disk shrink when the VM is running, although the VM will stop responding ? Will the VM resume running after the reclaim process?

3、How to do virtual disk export/import for space reclaim (Plese look at 2.png) ?
