PVM is double size of the Guest OS disk

Just not finding a good answer in search.
My PVM file is consuming 126GB, but within the guest OS:
  • The General tab says total size of disks is 116gb
  • On the hardware tab the Hard Disk says capacity is 72gb
  • Within Windows it reports the HD as about 60gb
It's not snapshots. The General tab shows the size of the snapshots I have as only about 1gb each. Where's the space going?
Thanks, Jeff
