You will have to give a bit more information.
How do you select which VMs, and how you select the daily and weekly snapshots on those VMs?

Removing snapshots from VMs is really quite straightforward.

The following will remove all snapshost from all VMs.

Get-VM | Get-Snapshot | Remove-Snapshot -Confirm:$false

If that is not what you want, you will have to give more information on how to select the snapshot(s) to remove.

For using the Windows Task Scheduler, have a look at Alan's Running a PowerCLI Scheduled task post.

Please refer my reply on below thread, it should help you in what you are looking for. May be you want to schedule it in some task scheduler.
