Cant delete vmdk files
such error
Delete file Error caused by file /vmfs/volumes/520e- 22e0-4791a28e-290e- 001cc091f236/SERV- ER1_replica root
how i can to delete such files?
I think ESXi lock on that files causing the problem. Sometimes restarting the hostd process releases the lock, or vMotion the VM to another ESXi host and try delete. It may work.
Else try to find the lock as mentioned in the KB article given and remove the lock, then you can delete the vmdk fies. But if you have the VM in the inventory, power it off and "delete from disk" option deletes all the files.

Have you tried it via SSH using rm?
might be locked by your host and you might see this lock file on the same data store as .lock. please remove .lck and try again to remove .
