Deleted snapshot through snapshot manager - now I cant power on VM

I´ve deleted the snapshot trough snapshot manager as I always do.

Is there anything I can do to mange the VM to start again?

The only choice that is left is hard stop

But I get this error:
"The attempted operation cannot be performed in the current state ("Powered off")."

I have one more snapshot left that I want to get rid of - see screenshot

(I dare not delete the remaining snapshot to see if I can restart the machine)

Please, I really appreciate some answer

Hi

I don't have enough information here to help. Can you show us the error message you get when starting up? The VM is powered off in the screenshot hence the error message you get when forcing a stop.

The only thing that springs to mind is that your vmx is referencing a VMDK file that no longer exists.

However without the error, i can't be sure.
