Delete old VMDK from Datastore

Hell VMWare gurus,

I have a file server that had this configuration (windows server 2012 R2)

E: drive = 6TB

:anguished_face: Drive = 3 virtual disks with 2 TB each

c:  Drive = 100 GB

Originally, it only had 2 drives..  C and E:.  But since we were looking into Azure Site Repication, it couldn't support a single drive over 4TB.  This is why I created :anguished_face: drive with 3 x 2TB drives.  I have since deleted and removed E: drive from the vm and would like to free up the 6TB from its Datastore.  How do I safely go about deleting the old vmdk so that I can reclaim the disk storage back.
