.vmdk size doesn't match Disk size setting in Settings

Windows gave me a "drive space low" error today so I went to add some space to the virtual disk but noticed an odd discrepancy...

 

Looking at the size of the actual .vmdk file, it's only 49.29 GB. When I open the settings for the VM, the "Disc size" setting is 233.73 GB. Windows reports the disc as 45.9 GB.

This VM was migrated from my Boot Camp partition before. What's weird is that the partition from which this VM came was only 50 GB. (My whole hard drive is only 250 GB) The VM is now on a 2TB external.

 

What's going on here? I don't want a 233.76 GB virtual disk but I can't drag the slider to the left?
