Parallels Windows machine keeps on eating up my Macbook disk space

Hello guys, I've been trying the demo version of Parallels Business, as I'm willing to buy it to have a windows VM in my Macbook Pro.

Unfortunately, I've been installing few apps inside my virtual machine, but none since few days, and I've been constantly checking the size of the VM in my Mac files (Windows 10.pvm).

I've been seeing amounts of Megabytes constantly adding up, even when I delete files inside the VM, for example, I deleted some logs files from an app inside the VM that were nearly 1GB, so the gigabyte disappeared, and 30 seconds after, a new gigabyte has been added !

Any help is appreciated, thank you

Hi, what is your virtual machine hdd size?
 
Hello Maria, so my HDD on my VM says 255 GB, but it only takes 20GB now with all I installed .

Should i set it up differently when I create it ?
 
For example, I just launched the VM now, it was 19.94 GB before launching it (WIndows 10.pvm) and once I quit it, it is now 20.18GB ! Without doing anything !
