vmsn files
I have some snapshots that dont show up in the snap shot manager and I created another snap shot and did a delete all, but the 2 vmsn files are still there. I checked the disks in edit settings and all the disks dont show them as a snap shot disk 00000x.vmdk. They show up as the parent disk. Is it safe to move the vmsn files to a tmp folder and turn on vm.

Ok, So to be safe I can move them to a different folder or delete them, because I am using vdp for my backup solution and it fails because it says it has a snapshot.
Please send me a screenshot of the VM folder.
these are not snapshot files, and should not be causing VDP an issue.
You should not have the need to randomly delete any files.

okay, look like orphan snapshots, move to a different folder.

Thank you sir for your assistance.

Very helpful and knowledgeable.
As you have checked the VM Disk settings, and it's also writing to the parent, you do not have any snapshots.
I would not worry about the VMSN files, these do not occupy a lot of space.
