Hi Camreon2007 I have tried using browse to the datastore and it is using this that i get the "can't delete" error message my problem with usingPuTTy (and the like) is that it appears that root remote logon was diabled when it was originally set up but root was the only account i was given passwords for. This leaves me in a Catch 22 situation where i can't turn on root remote logon as i can't logon and can't create an alternative account as i can't log on. Any other ideas? I will check to see if any of the other servers are using these disk images.

Hello, In my new company i've inherited an ESX server which runs some virtual server2003 machines stored on a SAN Datastore. As i investigated more i discovered that is was running short of space, after using the browse function i discovered that there were some 'leftover' .vmdk files which the browser couldn't delete and which are taking up a fair amount of space. Does anyone have any ideas what i can do to remove these files. I have tried using SCP but only know the root password which comes back as denied. Please bear in mind when answering that i am new to VMWare ESX so may need step by steps. Thanks to anyone who can help.
