I have m1 mac and parallels 17 editions and i have some problems I have only 256GB disk space for my mac. In usual my parallels disk takes 70 to 80 GB. But the size get bigger and bigger every time i use my virtual machine even though I delete unnecessary files regularly. When you look at the snapshots i attached my parallels disk takes almost 106GB but my actual space i use is only 70GB

When i look through the internet to search for an answer. Some threads said i can resize my parallels disk from advanced settings of hard disk but my hard disk starts from 256GB
