File error

When I try to copy some of my working VM's, using Windows File Explorer, I get the message: "You need permission to perform this action."

"You require permission from <Domain\User> (which is the domain and user that I am logged in as) to make changes to this file.

 

So, I thought I would try to clone the VM, but I get this: "An error occurred while cloning: The specified virtual disk needs repair."

 

The file that won't copy is: Studio 5000 Windows 10-s001.vmdk.

I have 31 files with this series of names: Studio 5000 Windows 10-s001.vmdk through Studio 5000 Windows 10-s031.vmdk

What are these s***.vmdk files? Are they snapshot files?

I do not have snapshots turned on and I don't have autoprotect enabled.
