I am running VMWare Fusion 3.1.2 on Mac with a Windows 7 virtual machine. The size of the virtual machine file continually grows no matter how much data I have on there. It is currently at 109 GB. I just threw out 3 GB of files but the size of the VM stayed the same. Will this VM just grow and grow? I will soon reach a point where I can not longer host it on my Mac or back it up.

Do you have snapshots of the guest? – Fergus Dec 19 '10 at 22:54
yes fergNab and I did not realize they took up so much space. How many snapshots is responsible to maintain? – mmcglynn Dec 20 '10 at 14:46

Try performing a disk cleanup. Enter the virtual machine’s settings and go to Hard Disks -> Clean Up Disk.
