trying to delete snapshots

i tried to delete snapshots-and i could delete some but not all.  eventually i had a just a couple in the Snapshot manager GUI but a lot more files in the directory where the VM lives.

 

i started over and put all the original files in a new directory, and tried deleting oldest 1st (i read this on the forum somewhere) but that only deleted the item from the GUI and not from the folder.  

now every snapshot i try to delete i get this message

now i just read that the only way to delete all the snapshots is to go to the 1st snapshot and then delete all subsequent.. which sounds like it is defeating the whole purpose........help!!!
