Dismiss low disk space prompt (Suspend, Power Off, Continue)

I'm running a Windows 7 virtual machine under VMware Fusion 5. The VM is out of disk space, and I'm getting the following prompt:

The prompt says:

VMware Fusion has paused this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full.

I'm then given choices to Suspend, Power Off or Continue. I've tried to continue, but the prompt immediately re-occurs. The ad infinitum prompt makes it impossible to free disk space on the virtual machine.

How do I permanently dismiss this prompt?

Solution 1:

This message has nothing to do with your VM's HDD, and is showing because your host machine doesn't have enough disk space remaining.

...the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full.

(Emphasis mine).

You need to free up some space on your Mac's drive in order for the VM to continue.
