Re: running out of disk space on VM

DON'T DO THIS! Snapshots are used in chains. This means that all of the .vmdk files are in use and removingg one of them woud break the snapshot chain.

I assume you tried to create the snapshot with the VM powered on? Anyway, please attach one of the latest vmware*.log files as well as the .vmsd file to which can be downloaded from the VM's folder to a reply post and let me know which .vmdk filenames show up for the virtual disks in the VM's settings (to ensure we don't make a mistake). With this information it should be possible to recreate the .vmsd file (this file contains the information for the Snapshot Manager) to allow you to delete the snapshots one-by-one.
