Hi Team,

I tried to start one of the VM in the VMware workstation which through the below error message

"Unable to open file "D:\Vmware Workstation VM's\******\Commvault01.vmdk":

One of the disks in this virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or by a snapshot."

Future I surfed in few blogs and most of them suggested to delete .lck folder and try. But No Luck. Please help me to resolve this issue.

Moderator: Moved to Workstation Pro Discussions (though you may be using Workstation Player) - not a vSphere matter. It will also help others to help you if you give your Workstation version, and any clues as to whether the VM has ever worked.
