That won't shrink the size of the virtual hard disk, it will only shrink the size of the vdi file on the host system. Once the virtual hard disk is used again by the guest, the size of the vdi file on the physical system will once again start to expand until it reaches the size of the virtual hard disk, or until it is compacted once more.
