@skematica Years ago I used to have VM Ware Fusion 4 on my MBP. I found the VM kept expanding in size to excessive levels. I'd initially start with 40 GB & it would frequently build up to around 70 GB before I fixed it by restoring to an earlier version via Winclone app.

Then I discovered the ability of Fusion to use a Boot Camp partition as the source of the VM. This stopped it from getting too big.
