Vmware snapshot locked after creating linked clone

loomax · ‎10-31-2022

I created a clone vmware machine of a snapshot but accidentally forgot to unset linked clone.
Now the snapshot is marked with a "locked" symbol.

How can I get rid of this. I deleted the cloned vmware - but it didn't effect the source vm.

Vmware Workstation 16.1

Solved already. I simply could create a new snapshot and delete the one with the locked symbol. ( A messagebox indicated that another system is linked but it's possible to ignore the warning )
