Can you check, that these snapshots are part of the snapshot chain?<br />
<br />
Does your VM currently have any snapshots attached ?<br />
<br />
Have you also tried:-<br />
<br />
1. Shutdown VDP Server (remove all VM disks)<br />
<br />
2. Restart Network Management Agents on Host.<br />
<br />
3. Restart vCenter Server service.<br />
<br />
4. Finally reboot Host server.<br />
<br />
5. Check if snapshots still exist of have locked files.

&quot;VDP: operation failed due to existing snapshot Execution error code: 10056&quot; <br />
We have two Vmware virtual servers that have snapshots we can't delete. We have tried consolidating and creating a snapshot then deleting all but nothing works. I have tried moving them to another folder but get the error &quot;Unable to access file [xxx-xxxxx] server1/server1-000006.vmd<wbr />k since it is locked&quot;.<br />
Thanks<br />

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.
