Right, but there is a limit to the expansion. So if you set up a Windows
VM with a 40GB automatically expanding drive Windows will say it's a
40GB drive but on the Mac it might initially only use 10GB. As you add
apps and such it will grow but only up to 40GB. I've never run into this
but I assume Windows will start to complain when you get near the limit.
So how much free space do you currently have on your mac HD?

Hi.
My VM is set to expand automatically. Both of my drives, data and
OS, are fairly crowded, so wondering which I should concentrate on
pruning.

Probably your virtual drive. When you first set up the virtual machine
you tell it how much of your Mac's disk space you will allow it to
use. In any case, you can quickly verify this by doing Get Info
(command-I) from the finder on your Mac's drive to find out how much
is left. If you really are out of room on your virtual machine you'll
need to do some cleanup. I suspect changing the drive size of the
virtual machine is a non-trivial bit of work, as it is on any non-Mac
machine.

Hi.
When I get an error stating my disk is nearly full, are they
referring to the disk the app is on, my OS drive, or the drive the
VM file is on, my Data drive? Thanks.
