Hi all !!
New here to the Mac Forum.
Just joined up today, but didn’t think I’d be in trouble already, needing to open a “Help Thread” but I’m in a bit of a bind
I have VmWare Fusion installed on my iMac & have loaded up XP Pro.
However I’ve found that I can’t register / activate the Windows installation I have, due to an incorrect activation key.
So I’d like to remove the virtual machine from my iMac & start out with a clean install with another Windows disk, that I know I have the correct key for.
I see that I can uninstall VmWare Fusion, but doing that will still leave the virtual machine intact, taking up HD space.
Is there a solution or am I now stuck with 20 Gigs of space wasted on my HD & will have to install another virtual machine, thereby using even more HD space
Any & all help greatly appreciated !

Just did a search & found this recomendation.....
"Delete the VM from the list in the VMware Virtual Machine Library and then remove the file from your ~/Documents/Virtual Machines directory."
Does that do the trick ???
Will the HD space taken up by the VM now be freed up for future use ??
Cheers !
