    When I open up the contents of my .pvm file I see where there are 2 core dump files that I apparently put there by Windows Desktop Control. The files take up almost 2 gig ea. Can these be safely deleted by moving to trash?

    Thanks in advance!

    Specimen, thanks for your input. Appreciate your willingness.
    I have attached a screen shot of the contents of my .pvm file. The two files in question are the guest_xxxxxxx. These we created by clicking on the DMP function in the window control. I am using Pro latest version.
    Thanks again....

    I just wanted to be sure of what the files look like before saying you could delete them.

    They are safe to delete. Shut down you VM before making any changes inside the .pvm.
    These are the contents of the memory when the dump was issued, they would be useable for debugging purposes only.
