Virtual Drive Size too Large

I installed vmware and my size ballooned up to 16.5gb after just installing Win 7 and one application!

If anyone knows, can you tell this fusion newbie how to decrease the size, short of shutting the whole thing down and reinstalling a new drive.

Did I miss a setting where I could have set the parameters of size, or is there a default/minimum size, or all 3?

Thank you, in advance, for any help you can provide.

Similar problem here. I'm running fusion 3 with vista home premium on a late 2008 15" macbook pro 5,1 (250 GB hard drive). I devoted 40 GB max in 2GB increments to the virtual machine. On vista, I've installed dragon naturally speaking and bit defender antivirus. When I run GrandPerspective, it tells me that my vmware file in the documents folder is almost 75 GB!

What am I doing wrong?
