Hi!

I have 8 VMs on a vSphere 6 host that has a couple delta files laying around and I can't delete them.

I think it's because I used Acronis backup for VMware and it failed constantly, creating delta files and not deleting them.

Now we are moving to Veeam Backup & Replication and I can't do backups on the 8 VMs on this specific host that Acronis fucked up.

In the web client the "Consolidate" is greyed out. I can click on it if I use the old VMware vSphere Client for desktop but nothing happens. It just says "Completed" after a few seconds.

If I run 'vim-cmd vmsvc/snapshot.removeall [VMID]' I just get "Remove All Snapshots:" and nothing else.

If I try to create a snapshot I just get this:

Create Snapshot:

Create snapshot failed

How do I get rid of these? I really need to make backups as soon as I can and this is not helping me at all.

What's then next step?
