Hello @Meph79 ,

There is 1 snapshot present on the disk which is 000001.vmdk. The snapshot consolidation requires almost 25-30% of the disk size and Snapshot size to complete. 

As the Datastore is 100% full and since it is local Datastore there is no possibility of expanding the Datastore which leaves us with 2 options only which are mentioned below.

1. We need to clone the snapshot disk from Esxi Putty session. This command will clone and create a new disk on other datastore which has enough free space. Post this operation there will only be 1 new disk which will be used and the old disk on local datastore needs to be deleted.

2. We clone the complete VM using Vmware Convertor which will create a copy of the VM. 

Both the options will also consolidate the disks.

As this activity involves risking data please get the command checked before processing.
