Failed to reconfigure virtual machine NAME. Invalid operation for device '1'. - dismiss

[bdf0506]

Similar to Failed to reconfigure Virtual machine (Extending Disk space) in ESXi version 6.5 - I am unable to expand my disk space on my VM. Any ideas as to why?

Failed to reconfigure virtual machine Splunk. Invalid operation for device '1'. - dismiss

.vmx is shown below. Any ideas as to why I can't expand the disk? I'm able to modify other settings, such as tweaking the amount of RAM in the VM.

Because you have one (probably more) snapshot(s) on this VM. You must commit all snapshots in order to expand a disk.

That worked, thanks! Wish the UI would give you more informative feedback next time.
