vmrun can't delete snapshots with same name

[omairmohammed]

In Vmware Workstation (16.2.1), I am creating linked clones using the following commands

vmrun.exe -T ws clone 'D:\UbuntuMSAN\Ubuntu MSAN.vmx' D:\UbuntuMSAN1\Ubuntu.vmx linked
-cloneName=UbuntuMSAN1
vmrun.exe -T ws clone 'D:\UbuntuMSAN\Ubuntu MSAN.vmx' D:\UbuntuMSAN2\Ubuntu.vmx linked
-cloneName=UbuntuMSAN2

I can delete the VM by using the following command

vmrun.exe -T ws deleteVM D:\UbuntuMSAN1\Ubuntu.vmx
vmrun.exe -T ws deleteVM D:\UbuntuMSAN2\Ubuntu.vmx

The problem is, the linked clone created snapshots on the main VM and I can't delete those using vmrun. (I can delete them manually)

vmrun.exe -T ws listSnapshots 'D:\UbuntuMSAN\Ubuntu MSAN.vmx'
Total snapshots: 2

vmrun.exe -T ws deleteSnapshot 'D:\UbuntuMSAN\Ubuntu MSAN.vmx' Clone andDeleteChildren
Error: The name does not uniquely identify one snapshot

vmrun.exe -T ws deleteSnapshot 'D:\UbuntuMSAN\Ubuntu MSAN.vmx' Clone
Error: The name does not uniquely identify one snapshot

This looks like a bug in Vmware Workstation. Can anyone reproduce the same thing?

With Workstation you have a good chance that the vmsd-file is invalid - so check if the vmsd has correct names
