    I was running out of disk space on my virtual machine so I increased the expanding disk from 64GB to 100GB however inside the virtual machine, the C: drive is still the size it was before.

    I went into computer management, storage in Windows to find that it reports 2 different figures for the C:. Please see the screenshot and help.

  2. @ChrisC2 please try the steps below:
    1. Open Terminal app (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal)
    2. In Terminal window please execute the following command:

    prl_disk_tool resize --hdd /path_to_HDD/ --size 120G --resize_partition
    Instead of /path_to_HDD/ please drag and drop your VM .hdd file (you will be able to find it in VM folder: right click on your VM and choose "show in finder" -> then right click on .pvm folder and choose "show package content")
