Just not finding a good answer in search. My PVM file is consuming 126GB, but within the guest OS: The General tab says total size of disks is 116gb On the hardware tab the Hard Disk says capacity is 72gb Within Windows it reports the HD as about 60gb It's not snapshots. The General tab shows the size of the snapshots I have as only about 1gb each. Where's the space going? Thanks, Jeff

Thank you! Looks like you have a couple of snapshots which take ample of disk space. Please open up Snapshots Manager via Actions menu > Manage Snapshots... Remove the ones you no longer need to free up some disk space.
