The first link indicates max size 2040GB. Depending on the size of the virtual disk and the host operating system, VMware Workstation creates one or more files to hold each virtual disk. SCSI virtual disks can be as large as 256GB. Let me know your thoughts on comments below. IDE virtual disks can be as large as 128GB.

Plan how much you need and create with that specific size and that's it. The size of the main partition (the partition where the Windows installation is located it is local disk (C:) by default) should equal the size of the virtual hard disk (Hard Disk 1).

Its exact opposite, it occupies the full physical memory on creation and it remains same what ever you do on virtual machine.

whenever you are deleting a file in the virtual machine - the respective size will not get emptied from the disk since you have more free space, So you are not getting the actual benefit of dynamic size option when you continuously using the machine. Because of that, the dynamically created storage will get larger and larger once you start using the virtual machine. Since your virtual operating system thinks that you are having more free space, it will fail to do the garbage collection on the disk for optimization (In Windows its called Disk Defragmentation).
