Hello everyone,
Begin I start, just want to clarify that I'm new to ESXi. I've built a secondary server for the specific purpose of testing out the features and making mistakes in order to learn. For the past few weeks I've been creating, editing and re-creating VMs on our host and learning along the way. The following issue arose after deleting hard drives from a VM. I had added two extra hard drives to a VM in order to understand how it worked, and after I had no more use for these two extra drives, I deleted them from the VM using the web UI. The process gave no errors, but I believe I made a rookie mistake by also deleting the extra vmdks from the datastore manually using the datastore explorer.
Now, after trying to create a snapshot of the VM, I'm getting this error:
An error occurred while saving the snapshot: A required file was not found.
An error occurred while taking the snapshot: A required file was not found.
Here's the screenshot for reference. I'm assuming the file that can't be found is a vmdk (which I thought wasn't necessary since the hard drive had been removed).
In this state, the VM boots up normally with no errors. I just can't take any further snapshots. I will appreciate all the help I can get.
Thank you!
