I am using ubuntu 11.04 virtual image with VMWare Player 4.0.2 build-591240. Because I found that the folder that holds the VMWare image goes to 8GB and want to shrink the size by using the utilities tool provided by the VMWare Image Player.

However, I found that the button is disabled like this.

Question> How to enable the button so that I can use it to shrink the size of virtual image used by ubuntu?

Question> If I cannot enable the button, is there another way that I can shrink the size of used space?

Thank you
