Hi Rick,
Vimalin does not write directly to the VM bundle, nor does it make a copy to the local disk first.
If the VM was running then it does make a snapshot before copying the data out.
Under no circumstance should you start deleting files from the virtual machine bundle as that will very likely end up in corrupting your VM.
You can check under snapshot manager (menu Virtual Machine -> snapshot -> snapshot) if there's an open snapshot.
You mention it is a Windows VM, so first step in trying to get more free space is:
- shut down the VM
- go to menu "Virtual Machines" -> Settings -> General -> there's a button "Clean up virtual machine"
That hopefully gives you a few more GB free space.
After that you can try and delete old snapshots (assuming there's a left over snapshot)
If you still have problems after that then please create a support bundle from the Vimalin menu -> Help -> Create Support Bundle and email it to support@vimalin.com and I will take a look.
