When i installed XP into Parallels it was a little over 2 GB. Now its 5.35 GB and i've barely even added anything to it. Why is it now more than twice the size of the original install? I ran the compressor and it took some away but a few days later it's back.
 
Hello 733guy,

If you download a number of files on Windows side, your winxp.hdd drive will expand.
If you delete these files from Windows after that, the .hdd will not have the size of the original install again. So you will have to run the compressor to make it smaller. This is a design limitation.
