How to reduce the size of VMware disk

Question

My Ubuntu image VMware disk has grown to 5GB physical file size. It's a dynamically growing disk with the maximum capacity of 8GB. I cleaned some stuff inside Linux distro and now inside it occupies 3GB. Obviously the physical file size didn't shrink back automatically. Is there a way (if possible free of charge) to shrink this disk back to ~3GB?

I need this to fit the image on the DVD.

I've found the solution.

Virtual Machine Settings -> Hard Disk -> Utilities -> Compact disk
