"Clean up Disks..." does not work VMWare Workstation 15

When I select "Clean up Disks..." for my vm, it says "Reclaimable space: 150GB". I click "Clean up now", it does its thing, and it says it succeeds in doing that. No error message. But when I go back to clean up the disk again, that 150GB is still there. I never get back that 150GB on my hard drive. Why is this, and how can I fix it?

How many VMs are you running?

Do any of them have snapshots?

Can you post a folder listing of one of the VMs? (with filenames and sizes)
