Wanted to know from others. If it is safe to remove a delta VMDK file from a
running vm?
A server I am now looking after is running out of space like no tomorrow. And
there are 3 delta VMDK ‘s taking up 80gb of space
Any information would be apprec
Not at all safe. You'll trash the virtual machine if its running from them
which it likely is. Use the VMware tools to remove any snapshots to clear
out the deltas. If there is no snapshots run a consolidate and get vmware
to clean up the deltas.

I feel like you dodged a bullet there.
If you were not able to shut it down, then get a NAS or some device and clone
to it at least that will give you a slimmed down clean version.

have a very high chance of borking something. Instead, get to the source of the
problem. Find out *why* your VMs have a sudden appetite for data. Unfortunately

hasn't gone down.
You know how things get cheaper (generally) is it fair to say this is not the

VMs only have a snapshot when something had told VMware (ESXi or vCenter,
which tells ESXi) to create a snapshot. They only have large snapshots or
chains of snapshots if those snapshots aren't being cleaned up.
