VDPA Appliance won't boot has hung backup job

[MCloud_LA]

We received this error after the backup job hung and the appliance went down.  An error was received from the ESX host while powering on Cannot open the disk
'/vmfs/volumes/539f5faa-e0ecf8ce-6a13-180373f7ae81/XXXX-SVR/XXXX-Data1-SVR_2_1.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

The XXXX-Data1-SVR_2_1.vmdk has been deleted.  Does anyone know how to delete the job so the VDPA appliance will boot?  The only thing I haven't tried is to manually create a VMDK with the same name.  I'm worried that it may cause more damage.  Has anyone ran into this?

Thanks,

MC
