Hi,
The way it works is that you can ever only increase size, not go smaller after you have increased the size.
You can however reclaim unused disk space at the host. Eg. if you have a 200GB disk set, but only 70GB is used then by running a cleanup you can reclaim space so that only 70GB is used at the host as well, even while the disk is set to 200GB.
OK.. if you don't have snapshots set (and don't have something enabled that is called "Autoprotect") then the first thing to try is to create a new snapshot, wait a bit, and delete it again.
That usually gets rid of invisible snapshots.
As for the "the disk is 200GB, but Windows only sees 73GB", that suggests that the partition size is still set to 73GB.
You would need to increase the partition size in order to use the rest of the 200GB. In Windows 10 that's right click on the Windows 10 icon in the bottom left, select "Disk Management", right click the C: disk, select "Extend Volume" and follow the steps.
If any of that doesn't work post back here and provide more details.
