    After trying to change the directory Parallels uses for storing virtual machines in order to save space on my SSD, I can't find the PVM file. The Parallels folder is empty. The new folder is empty. I've used Spotlight on my drives, as well as Easyfind. They find nothing with a .pvm extension or with the file name I gave the VM. I can probably create a new VM, but I don't like that somewhere on at least one of these drives, several gigabytes of capacity have been lost. I have only one virtual machine and the funny thing is that every time I start Parallels, it starts and runs that virtual machine just fine, even without a visible PVM file. Is there any other way I can I find the PVM file?

    right click / control click on the virtual machine in the virtual machines list and select "Show in Finder"
