ESXi 6.7 snapshots have filled my datastore SSD?

Hey all,

I have Ubuntu VM and over the time I would create snapshots. Now I noticed that thin provisioned disk of 80GB and in ESXi it shows that  215GB is being used. Ubuntu terminal shows only 48GB is being used.

I deleted all snapshots and thought that would clear it up but it didn't. I've noticed that VM folder on the host has multiple Ubuntu (1)-000001-sesparse.vmdk, Ubuntu (1)-000002-sesparse.vmdk etc. and are all large files.

Any suggestion how to safely free up this space? Screenshots are attached for the visual.

Thanks!
