    I am experiencing an issue with disk space on my Mac when using Parallels.

    While using Parallels, I get a message saying that I need to free up space on my Mac in order to continue using it.

    So I use the "Free up disk space" tool to reclaim disk space from Parallels, and it seems to work fine. However, once I start using Parallels again, it quickly grows in size and stops working again and I get the same message saying that I need to free up space. I've also tried the "Clean Drive" tool and it seems to find negligible amounts of space to free up. At this point, half of my Mac files have been stored on Google Drive and I've deleted as many unnecessary apps as I can and still Parallels keeps growing. I can't even start Windows long enough to delete some files on there before it stops working.

    How can I fix this so I'm able to start using Parallels again? I'm starting to get a little worried, as I use Parallels only for a GIS course I'm taking and I need to use it to complete a big project. Help!
