Cacelled during Snapshot deletion, unable to clone now

I am using vmware workstation. I was deleting a snapshot and by mistake I pressed cancel button during the process. After that I created few more snapshots and things were working fine. However I cannot clone my vmware machine now. Please advise. See attached error desc.

have you ever tried copying the VM files to another location using Windows Explorer and run the VM from there?

Its 180 GB folder . How will that solve the issue ?  There are some left overs from last consolidation ( snapshot deletion) and its because of that.  I am pretty sure that is whats causing the issue. I just a clone of my last snapshot to create a new vm and take it from there.

moving or copying a VM needs an IMPORT procedure to retreive and validate the VM data, and this may determine and fix some errors caused by previous usage.
do I simply just copy and paste or is there a menu option I need to follow ?
