Hello,

If you disk is thin provisioned try to reclaim space. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Workstation-Pro/17/com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-421A1073-BF16-4BC7...

If you disk is thick provisioned ("reserve the whole space" when created), then use VMware converter to transfrom the VM disk into thin provisioned, here is an example of a VM in my laptop (I show only the step where you change the disk to thin provisioned) :

If you need more explanation ping me.
