hi Gizzie

Thank you for your reply.

I haven't deleted it yet. "I plan to delete the snapshot."

I plan to consolidate the snapshots with "remove all".

Since the target VM has a large disk capacity, I thought it would take a long time to delete even if it was merged with "remove all".

So when I run "remove all" and a power outage occurs, I have to stop the host before the power outage.

I don't care if the VM's data is corrupted, I asked if there was a way to cancel the "remove all" before stopping the host.

Hi. I have a plan to perform a snapshot deletion. (ESXi 7)

I am looking at the following KB I know that I cannot cancel the deletion of a snapshot in the middle.
I know that I can't cancel the snapshot deletion in the middle because it will destroy the data.

https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/1023657

I am assuming that if the disk is large, the deletion will take longer.
I asked because the building might lose power in the middle of deleting snapshots.
If the building loses power, it will shut down the ESXi host.

Is there any way to cancel deleting a snapshot in the middle if the deletion takes a long time and does not finish ?

I understand that data can be corrupted.
