Parallels For Mac Change Partition Size

In Parallels 9, you can set for every VM if it should be scaled, best for retina or more space. As DPI scaling under Windows is inherently broken, as application developers have to support this, and many just don't, it's not useful you can configure this at all, which is why more options don't always mean better software (looking at you Parallels).

edit: Solved! Thanks to everyone who offered advice.

I have a 2014 MPBr with 500GB storage. I have about 120GB left. A few weeks ago, I installed Windows 10 using bootcamp to play a few PC-only games (I always said I would never do it, but I finally gave in). I allocated 40GB, but I didn't realize that the OS would take up so much of that. I installed one game (Skyrim, 6GB) and I'm already out of room for almost anything else.
How can I add more space to the windows partition? I'm really hoping there's a way to do it without deleting and redownloading everything. It doesn't seem like bootcamp has a built-in feature that can help me, and I've deleted all of the junk windows files that I can. Advice?
