Ah, I see, you mean reclaim unused blocks in the VM image itself, not deleting actual data. Yes, you’re right, you must have no snapshots before you can do that. Just select a snapshot with QuickNav off and hit Backspace, and you’ll delete the snapshot. Then reboot the VM, perform any internal housekeeping and defragmenting, and use the shrink process to squeeze the VM down to approximately the used space of the filesystem. This only works if you aren’t using a pre-allocated disk, of course, as in the VM settings for the internal disk. You can request a shrink inside Windows with the guest tools, and then use the General settings in the VM to “Clean up” and you will have some space back on the host Mac.
