I use the method from this link, http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-12446.

then have a Windows server with scheduled tasks. You can schedule these tasks as needed. I have my backups going to disk, so I created a bat file in each task to delete VM's older than one week or one month depending on the VM, you could do something similar for your needs. May not be what you're looking for, but will work with the schedules you need.
