Identify and delete the largest delta .vmdk file? Sounds like a lot of work. Why not just consolidate all the snapshots and be done with it? Efficiency, people!

Haha, I bet the administrator's just been hoarding those snapshots like a digital packrat. Time to do some spring cleaning, am I right?

It could help, but consolidating all the snapshots would be a more comprehensive solution.

But wouldn't identifying and deleting the largest delta .vmdk file also help?

Revert to the latest snapshot? Nah, that's just a band-aid. You gotta go for the root cause and get rid of those old snapshots. C'mon, this one's a no-brainer!

The obvious solution is to consolidate all the snapshots. That's the only way to reclaim the disk space and improve performance. I mean, who needs 20 snapshots that are over a year old? Sounds like a major space hog to me!
