Is it safe to reclaim disk space now?

    Greetings,
    I, and other long suffering PD users have been stuck with very large VM files because (we believe) there is a conflict with what Apple APFS thinks is "free space" and what PD thinks is "free space".
    Ever since PD13 the result trying to reclaim disk space is a corrupted file system, as well as an unusable corrupted VM file.
    Please search this forum for these posts for the sad story:
    'Mac host file system corruption during shrinking of PD13 Win10 VM'
    'Disable Dangerous "Free Up Disk Space" message'
    'Major issue when reclaiming disk space'
    'During Reclaiming Mac fozen and now VM does not run'

    I have upgraded to PD15 as well as Mac Catalina.
    Has anyone attempted a successful disk reclamation?

    A long time passed and no one from the support wrote back.
    Therefore, I have another idea, if I move the PVM to the HFS+ partition, will the conflict be resolved?
