    The Parallels uninstall, like most uninstalls, only removed what the installer creates. The VM is the equivalent of user data, and not an appropriate target for an uninstaller.

    If you accepted the defaults and didn't move anything, you can delete your VM by trashing
    ~/library/parallels
    which is the default install location. Then reinstall Parallels, without moving any of the files the installer creates, recreate your dock icon if you have one, and you should be good to go. You can reinstall the app without uninstalling first.
