    I reported a problem from the Parallels startup window a few weeks ago asking how I can remove an unwanted guest OS from the startup list.

    1. How do I follow up on a problem report if I get no acknowledgment from Parallels support?
    2. how do I remove the unwanted guest OS?

    If you submitted problem you would receive ticket ID which you can follow
    The easiest way is to delete VM folder where unwanted VM is located (the folder name is the same as in list)
    Be careful if you used disk from old VM for new VM!

    I received no ticket.

    Thx for advice on unwanted VM but I suspect that the second VM is on my backup drive, and I don;t want to delete that.

    I simply want to remove VM-2 from my startup list

    open Terminal
    cd Documents
    rm -rf .parallels-vm-directory
