VMware KB: Committing snapshots when there are no snapshot entries in the Snapshot Manager
and delete (IF YOU WANT TO DELETE) via command line
Remember that during deleting snapshots the hyervvisor use some space on the datastore. keep in mind tha it is a best practice to have at least 12% of datastore space free.
It depends mostly on block size and how much the VM is used, more I/O more work to do to delete the snapshot.
have a look at the process in my test lab looking at the attached screenshots
Initial situation
ots -->
Start deleting snapshots --> creation of other snaps for REDO log during deletion of old snaps
New snaps grow in terms of space on the datastore
All return to initial situation, before snapshot were taken.
