asked on Deleting SnapShots
What is the best way to delete SnapShots in vSphere 5.5?
Is there any step by step procedure or guide that I could be provided? Either thru GUI or CLI.

Based on the comments, which I highly appreciate. The SnapShots exists for the VM which is ON and the performance is very slow. I know consolidation is going to take a long time, as experienced in the past. Is there a proper way to delete multi-Snapshots using CLI.

This is to be expected, writing to a snapshot child disk caused poor performance.

Delete ALL the snapshots.

Could you provide me the correct CLI command?
I have followed this link but a little confused as to which one I should run first.
