You are describing an "Expanding disk" type of drive.
The Parallels Compressor is used to: a) clean out junk files; b) defragment virtual disks; c) clean up unused space and most importantly in your case d) Compact expanding disks.

1) Start the Virtual Machine.
2) On the Parallels menu bar do: Action/Run Parallels Compressor

Hope this helps.

Oh and the Compress can take quite a long time to completely finish, so be patient.
