Wow, Eric, that was fast. I’ve done increasing before with GParted, it works nicely. I’ll have to backup and clone the VM with Converter to reduce its drives’ sizes. Thank you, Tom

Yes Converter can be used to do this along with some other methods, read more here:

Can this be used to resize a VM’s C: drive to be smaller, to say, 20-25 GB from 30 GB?/

Thank you, Tom
