Hi SteffenA1. Chances are that the virtual machine in use isn't the only virtual machine present on the Mac. Please follow these steps to try and locate other virtual machines on your computer.

Hi all, thanks for your replies. It was because I had old VMs which were uploaded in iCloud Drive. these VMs were downloaded automatically. Because of my problem this thread can be closed.

 

Nice to know that it's all sorted out. Please post again for any further queries.
