are you certain the VM is not running on a snapshot.

please see my EE Article

HOW TO: VMware Snapshots :- Be Patient

another method would be to use VMware Converter, and create a V2V, at the same time you can specify the new disk size, and the OS partition will be increased as part of the conversion, and also clear up any snapshot file issues.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
