cannot remove snapshotted disk from virtual machine

Hi,

I am trying to remove a disk from a VM but getting error " cannot remove snapshotted disk from virtual machine ".

Snapshot Manager is showing several snapshots including Consolidate Helper-0.

I cloned disk to consolidate snapshots and now trying to remove current disk and add cloned disk but getting this error.

Any thoughts why I am unable to remove the disk. Is it because VM is running on snapshots ?

Do I need to delete all snapshots before I remove disk?

Thanks,

Sidd
