    Hi, Im Charlie a Parallels Destop user,

    My Paralles prompted me for out of Disk Space. So I check my paralles file and found 4 .hds files in it. Oldest and largest is 95GB, some 40GB, 41GB, and 24GB. I thought that those are just snapshot so I Deleted the 24GB files to free-up space. After that my Parallels OS Windows 7 is not working. It says that some File is Missing.

    Any help would be appreciated. My concern is to recover my outlook PST files.

    Charlie

    This is not the way to delete snapshots, you can delete/merge snapshots from inside Parallels, I would try to merge snapshots, even if you just deleted a snapshot now the index of snapshots is out-of-sync.
    Be aware that there's the distinct possibility that your data is not recoverable.
