Unable to Increase Virtual Drive

I am now out of space and can't do much of anything....

I have expanded the drive using Parallels, and restarted. The C drive doesn't grow. I have plenty of space on the HD but it just won't grow....
I have also tried Acronis products, and increasing the drive size using Command Prompt (both were suggestions in similar threads..)
Someone please help!!

Click to expand...
Hey, did you try the suggestion above?
 
Yes, I followed those steps initially - to no avail. When I get into the Disk Management tool, I see no available space.
I am using Parallels 11 on a 2015 MacBook with a 512 SSD, if that helps any...
 
Any ideas? I really need this to work asap... can I make a copy of my current Virtual Machine, uninstall Parallels, and reinstall, using more of my drive initially? There is obviously a bug here. And if so, how.
 
Hi there,
I have a same problem. Couldn't work it out in Version 9, 10 and 11. Completely out of space on Win 7 VM. I ahve followed steps in http://kb.parallels.com/113972 and C has no free space to expand. I am still within 30 days from purchase and should be able to talk to Parallels team. Can't find contact details phone nor chat anywhere in your material. Assistance is appreciated. Bob A
 
I'm having a similar problem. When I go to the slider bar that changes the memory allocation (MAC vs Virtual Machine) it tells me that I don't have permission to make this change. I am the only user on this machine. What seems to be the problem?
