    Running an iMac with macOS 13.4, Parallels Desktop v18.3.0 and Windows 10 (64-bit).
    If I launch Parallels and go to Action > Configure > General the Total size of my PVM is 198.14GB with 162.75GB being snapshots, 24.7 GB is Hard Disk and 10.6 GB is Reclaimable space...so it says....
    If I launch Win 10 and go to Settings > Storage it shows 70.5 GB used and 184 GB Free
    If I click on C drive and get Properties it shows 70.5 used and 184 GB Free.
    I tried going to Action > Manage Snapshots > and deleted one of the 5 or 6 snapshots that was there, a dialog came up and asked if I'm sure I want to delete and I told it to go on and do it...problem is I see no other feedback and it doesn't look like snapshots are being deleted. I tried to delete another snapshot but it says a snapshot is already being deleted....the computer has been sitting for over a hour before I tried this by the way which I would think would be enough time to do what it needed to do. At one point I told it to go on and make a new Snapshot and it couldn't because it says a snapshot is being deleted. So whats going on here? how long am I to wait for a snapshot to be deleted? With the drive being completely full of snapshots it can't be a good thing right, figured it would just slow things down. What is best way to proceed from here? I don't need these current snapshots and they can all go bye bye as far as I'm concerned. Any ideas on what to do next or what to look at next?
