Why is my Windows 10 pvm so big?

My windows 10 pvm has ballooned to 82 GB. I don't believe I have that much installed or stored in the virtual machine. Windows 10 should take up about 20 GB, Office 16 should take about 3 GB and maybe another GB for quicktime/itunes/iCloud & Opera. I don't store any files in the VM. It should certainly under 30 GB. Why is it so big? I clicked compress but we're only talking about MB. Any ideas?
 
Hi @BrianB4, if you noticed that your Windows virtual machine takes a lot of disk space, use this freeware tool to check its contents.
Note: You have to install Scanner application mentioned in the second part of the article
 
Same problem here. What is the name of the freeware you suggest above? Cannot get it from the link posted. Thanks.
