Hi,
The popup with "Encrypting VM" is ... weird to say the least.
Was it quick or did it take a while to complete?
If it was fast, then there's a fair chance that it didn't actually encrypt the disks contents.
You can also verify that by checking the actual size of the virtual disk. A fully encrypted VM's disk would be at least the same size as what you set it at. Eg. if your VM has a 60GB virtual disk then it's size would be 60GB as all the data is encrypted, including the empty space.
If it's smaller, then check my article explaining more details about the experimental vTPM feature.

It normally is possible to undo the feature, but it requires more than removing a few lines from the vmx itself.
Hope this helps,
