    Hello,

    I'm facing quite strange behavior of the Reclaim... button. It looks like this feature does not work every second upgrade for me which is interesting.

    The Reclaimable detail always shows zero. I've tried switching the TRIM Hard Drive parameter On and Off with no luck. The attached screen-shot is from my CentOS machine but the same happens for Windows 7 as well. From that I think this is not Guest OS related. I've also tried the prl_disk_tool compact with the same result -- no HDD file size change. I've also tried the fstrim -v / Linux command which reports some huge number for the first execution followed with zeros in consequent executions -- once again -- with no impact to the HDD file size. It worked properly in the previous build of Parallels Desktop. Usually I have a few GB to reclaim after every usage of my VMs. Now I cannot free the space. What is even worse is that the HDD file grows a few megabytes just for a Power-On/Power-Off cycle and one can imagine the growth after serious work-load.

    My current infrastructure is: macOS 10.14.4 and Parallels Desktop Version 14.1.3 (45485).

    Do you have any idea how can I get the manual Reclaim... feature back?

    Thank you very much for any idea.

    With best regards,

    PETR
