I have less available space on my macOS host machine every time I do a Clean Up Virtual Machine

Why does my host available space decrease every time I do a Clean Up Virtual Machine. I see this on my Mac Mini but not on my Macbook Pro.

Make sure your virtual machine folder is explicitly excluded from time machine, otherwise it'll snapshot the files.  Since time machine doesn't work for VM's it should be excluded anyway.
