Cancel deletion of snapshots

[uljo2]

Hi,

I choose about 8 snapshots for deletion in snapshot manager. I pressed delete and it started to "remove unused files" .

Since it took some time I quite soon pressed "Cancel", the progress bar had filled about 1/3.

I thought that it would leave the snapshots that it had not deleted in the snapshot manager and that I could fix them later.

But now all snapshots were gone.

Does that leave me with 2/3 of unnecessary snapshot files on my hard drive?

How do I remove them in order to get some of may hd space back?

Make a back up of your VM before making changes or deleting files.[/b]

Since snapshots are nothing more than files, you could delete them.

This does require you to know which files are still being used and which one's are not.

Take a new snapshot and delete it, and Workstation will automatically clean up the rest of the unused disk files.

Thanks!

Deleting the a new snapshot (had almost no changes) took 5 minutes and removed 130 files.
