I found a solution for this.

I had an iso-file specified in all of the VMs CD-ROM although it wasn't connected. The iso-file was on a NFS-share that was disconnected.

For some reason I couldn't get it to connect again and I couldn't remove it either as the VMs was using it.

On some VMs I could use the vSphere desktop client to remove it but most VMs showed the CD-ROM as "restricted" and I couldn't change any settings.

I couldn't make any changes in the Web Client as the disks where all messed up with the snapshots so I couldn't save.

Then I figured I could use "Install Vmware Tools" to make it mount that iso-file instead (Interactive Tools Upgrade). When I had done that I could create a snapshot successfully and open the snapshot manager and "Delete All".

I had to end the Vmware Tools installation after the snapshots where deleted for the next VM to be able to make a successful snapshot for some reason.

I have 4 more VMs to go but so far it's working.

Hopefully someone else will find this post helpful.
