# Archivar y desarchivar máquinas virtuales

Si tiene dos o más máquinas virtuales, es posible que no disponga de suficiente espacio en su Mac. Si utiliza poco una máquina virtual, puede archivarla para que ocupe mucho menos espacio en el disco duro del Mac.

### **Archivar una máquina virtual**

Para archivar una máquina virtual, siga estos pasos:

1. Haga clic con el botón derecho en el icono de Parallels Desktop en el Dock y seleccione **Centro de control**.
2. Haga clic con el botón derecho en la máquina virtual y seleccione **Archivar**.

### **Desarchivar una máquina virtual**

Las máquinas virtuales archivadas no pueden ejecutarse. Para poder iniciarles, antes tendrá que desarchivarlas. Haga lo siguiente:

1. Haga clic con el botón derecho en el icono de Parallels Desktop en el Dock y seleccione **Centro de control**.
2. Haga clic con el botón derecho en la máquina virtual y seleccione **Iniciar**.
3. En el cuadro de diálogo en el que se le pregunta si desea desarchivar la máquina virtual, haga clic en **Desarchivar**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/pdfm-ug/v26-es-es/guia-del-usuario-de-parallels-desktop-para-mac-26/temas-avanzados/uso-de-maquinas-virtuales/archivar-y-desarchivar-maquinas-virtuales.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
