To understand the current situation, and to find possible solutions, please post a complete file listing (the text output of ls -lisa). In addition to this post the free disk space in this and other datastores. Last but not lease, attach the VM's vmware.log file to your next reply. This will show the snapshot chain.

Today I noticed that Ubuntu won't start due to low storage on Samsung 1TB SSD datastore.
