    How do I compress my OS X Virtual Machine? I am running Lion 10.7.4 and Parallels 7 (v7.0.15095 Rev 768120) and the Compress option is not available on my OS X Virtual Hard Disk.

    I'd like to know as well. Right now that Pvm is taking up 15GB for no good reason.

    I'm surprised this hasn't come up more often since Lion lets you install as a virtual machine.

    I too would love to find out how to do this. The virtual machine keeps getting bigger, but then I delete files inside it and it doesn't shrink.
