Unable to Export OVF

Hello, I am trying to export my VM into an OVF file, but it keeps giving me this error: 

Export failed: Failed to stream from disk: C:\Virtual Machines\Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 64-bit\Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 64-bit.vmdk. Reason: Read beyond end of object.

My VM is not on OneDrive. Does anyone have any leads to this problem?

are you exporting via the vCenter GUI?

I am clicking on File < Export to OVF... on the Workstation. Is this what you meant?

Yes, that's what I meant.

I've often had timeout and other issues with this approach and would recommend using the command line OVFTool.

Information can be found here Open Virtualization Format Tool (ovftool) - VMware {code}
