I'm continuously running out of disk space running now, running AS2 on Parellels on my Mac. I've done all the obvious things to reduce the disk space--deleted programs, defragmented, cleaned up, shifted the CPU indicator further to the right. Nothing is working and now my project won't save. I just have the standard Parallels package. Do I need to upgrade to Pro--or is there something else I can do? Used to work fine ...
Are you running out of space INSIDE the Windows virtual machine? Have you tried running "Disk Cleanup" from inside Windows and selecting System Files? You may need to increase the size of your virtual disk.
Disk cleanup should help, ensure you have the latest version of storyline installed as there was a case of temp files bloating and not being cleaned up. You don't say how large your disk is but you could expand the disk in parallels to give more space. I run my VM off an external SSD using a thunderbolt cable this way I reduce the load on the internal drive.

You should also try Parallels' feature for reclaiming disk space: http://kb.parallels.com/en/114654
I do this fairly often to ensure my virtual drive doesn't grow too big.
Thanks for your suggestions. I had to move Articulate over to a PC to get a project done, but will try this out when I have time. Thanks!
