Go to machine summary and check the provisioned space for the VM.

This will sum up all the space used by the VM including snapshot, memory swap etc.

If you have a datastore with same or more free space, initiate a clone of the machine.

The cloned machine will have all snapshots consolidated.

but if the machine is big and as I can see there are lot of snapshot delta files in use this can take time.. lot of time

you just have to be patient and make sure there is enough space.

with the machine running on so many snapshot I am assuming there is already a performance hit.

Once the clone completes, power off the old server and power on the clone machine(to avoid IP conflict)

make sure the clone is OK and delete the old server to get your space back
