I'm not a fan of Force quitting a VM, but IIRC then in current VMware Fusion versions, Fusion would still try to close the files. The part I wonder about is if there are hardware problems (most likely suspect would be the disk) or something silly like running out of file handles, but then you would see other problems in the host OS as well. I end up having to force quit every time even with the new upgrade.

When I try and quit SU on my Mac (MacbookPro less than 1 year old) the application just hangs and I see the spinning Mac wheel. I recently upgraded to SU Make 2015 which I use to build plans for my woodworking furniture projects. It doesn't really matter that it is XP on that detail. I have had this problem ongoing for about a year. The VM being in a different network should not trigger a problem like this. You can even force quit the Finder if it stops responding. The "Power Off" option should normally function like pulling the power cord. Choose Force Quit from the options and select the app you want to close forcefully. You probably have tried that as well then (if it is even active) as well as things like Ctrl+Alt+Del? There's also a "Reset" option that should work and becomes active when you hold down the option key. You mentioned that Power off isn't working and that you are also aware about the "power off" command in the menu to become active when holding down the option key while the Virtual Machine menu is selected. We have an article on cleaning up hard disks that outlines several utilities that may be useful for this purpose, including WhatSize, Disk Inventory X, and Grand Perspective.Oh sorry, I misread on the moving part. If you a lot of organization based on folder size, you might think about using a third-party utility to more swiftly calculate the size of multiple folders. After the Finder is running again (should be a couple of seconds), try calculating the file sizes again. Relaunching the Finder in this way can also be done if the Finder is using up an inordinate amount of CPU, which seems to happen periodically. To relaunch the Finder, press "Options-Command-ESC" to bring up the force-quit window, select the Finder, and click "Force Quit." This will shut down the Finder and the system will automatically start it back up (this will not harm or "lose unsaved data" as is potentially the case with force quitting other applications). If this is the case, you can usually get this process going again by relaunching the Finder however, the fastest way to determine the size of folders on your disk may be to use a third-party organization utility.
In some cases, however, the Finder will hang and never calculate the folder size. The Finder is not the best utility for calculating the size of folders, and usually the way calculating folder sizes works with the Finder is to just wait it out.
It doesnt show up on the activity monitor but it does show up on the force quite menus and I cant uninstall.

Other people in this Apple discussion thread have also noted problems with calculating the sizes of certain folders on disk. So I tried quitting uTorrent about 4-6 hours ago at least, and it got stuck in 'Application Not Responding' mode, so I tried force quitting but it didnt work (no matter how I tried it). One Mac user "Janet K." writes in with: "The 'calculating size' functions (control-get info) doesn't seem to be working always - it just sits there without calculating and I never get the folder size I'm looking for." Sometimes this process can take a long time, especially when using the view options but also in the Get Info window, which is has been frustrating to several users. This can be done by either getting info on a particular folder, or by going to the "Show View Options" in the "View" menu and choosing "Calculate all sizes" with a particular folder open. To organize files and folders on your disk, you may choose to have the Finder calculate the size of folders on your disk.
