Can't remove vmkdump created on vmfs volume - 5.0

[impranayk]

Trying to remove one datastore from ESXi 5.0. It's showing datastore already in use. It's not getting remove and showing below error.

Error: Cannot delete file[datastore] vmkdump/30****.dumpfile

I referred some 5.5 articles which is not applicable on 5.0.

Upgraded host to ESXi 5.5 and followed below KB article to delete vmkdump folder. It's working fine.
