snapshot deletion takes long time

i have shutdown the VM and deleted the snapshot but its taking long time to delete. Its production down from past 3 hours and its struck on 31% from past 2 hours i can wait . any option to bring up the VM soon ? can i cancel the running snapshot job ? ESXi version is 6.5 where this VM is hosted.

 

VM size C 100 GB , D 750 GB.

VMTN has an area for regular vSphere matters, a moderator should be along to move your thread there - the {code} area is for SDK discussions and documents.
