    How do you remove virtual machines from Parallel? I need to get rid of Windows Vista. Something has happened to Vista and it is not working (like that never happens). Also, I no longer have access to Parallel Tools and can't find a way to install it because Vista is not working.

    Hello,

    Please follow the link below which will provide you step by step instruction to delete a vm.

    Could you let me know as to what problem are you facing with Windows Vista. If possible send me the error message of the exact problem you receive. Be careful since once you delete a virtual machine you cannot retrieve it.

    I need to not only uninstall my Windows XP virtual machine
    but to completely remove PARALLELS from my Mac.

    I did a SEARCH and found this thread. Perfect response.

    However, I think it only answers one of the two questions.

    It seems what is answered here is how to remove all traces
    of the Windows XP virtual machine from Parallels.

    I also need to know how to remove Parallels itself.

    No traces left anywhere on my computer of the Parallels
    program or Windows XP.

    Can you post those instructions?

    And don't worry. I plan on reinstalling Parallels. Just that
    Windows 7 is coming out next week. It requires a CLEAN
    install (no XP upgrade as far as I know) and I would like to
    start from scratch with Parallels on up.

    Thanks in advance for the help.
