    Hello.
    I am using 10.0.2 on OS X 10.10.3. There are a few Ubuntu VMs. I created one with an expandable disk size of 10GB. Now I get the message: Only 200MB are available. The OS X SSD has 100GB free disk space.

    What's wrong with the configuration?

    Regards, bolshi

    Hi Bolshi,
    Parallels virtual machine takes as much disk space as you have data in your virtual machine, and it's all stored in the virtual machine's *.pvm bundle (by default in ~/Documents/User/ folder).
    To locate the virtual machine in Finder :
    1. Right-click on Parallels Desktop icon in Dock and choose Control Center (Virtual Machines list in older versions).
    2. Right-click on the virtual machine's name and choose Show in Finder.
    3. Right-click on the virtual machine's .pvm file and choose Get Info.
    You can also Download and install Disk Inventory X application from the link : http://www.derlien.com/ to run software and check for Parallels Desktop files and folder.
