Workstation Pro or Player?

What OS are you running in the VM?

Do you have snapshots on the VM, or auto-protect enabled?

That's an excellent question. However, in order to give you an advice, you need to provide details.
Let's start with a file listing, i.e. the text output (not a screenshot) of either dir *.* /one (for Windows), or ls -lisa (for Linux) to see which files are in the VM's folder/directory.
