Increase disk size

Good morning to friends. I'm new to the group and I'm having a problem. I have a virtual machine in Vsphere 6.0. I tried to increase the disk space, but it is disabled for expansion. Other virtual machines I've usually managed to expand. Only this that does not enable. Would anyone help me? Thank you all.

The print on the screen is attached.

You need to delete the snapshot if you want to increase the disk. Doing so means you cannot revert to the point saved by it, however.

Check and make sure you don't have a snapshot for this VM. This is usually the reason for seeing this behavior.

It has a snapshot, I thought of deleting, but I was in doubt that it would disturb or damage something in the VM.
