Tried migrating vm to different datastore, ran out of space

Hello all.

 

I was trying to migrate one of my vms from one datastore to another when I ran out of space on the datastore. The process stopped and I had to reboot the host.

 

I am now left with random files in either datastore, and I can't register the VM as the files are all grayed out when I go to select them. Can anyone give me some pointers on what to do?

 

Can I salvage this VM or do I have to completely deploy it new? It would be a massive pain in the ass to deploy new as I spent a lot of time modifying and setting this one up.

please show us what you  got now.

If possible show a screenshot of both directories created with Winscp.

Do not rename or move anything at the moment.
