Snapshot issue - ran out of disk space - removed snapshot, but it didn't remove the delta files?

All,

 

 

I made the mistake of leaving a snapshot live on a system overnight and our SQL backups ran which ended up writing a ton of data to the delta file, in turn it filled up the vmstore partition. 

 

 

A message came up saying "There is no more space for the redo log of Alpamayo_1-000001.vmdk.  You may be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant partition, and clicking Retry.  Otherwise, click Abort to terminate this session."  I chose Abort. 

 

 

The VM shut down, and then I removed the snapshot.  So at this point the snapshot does not exist in VI, but the -delta files still exist in the vmstore.  How do I remedy thissituation?  If I take another snapshot would it know to use the old -delta files?  If so, then I could remove it and commit the changes.

 

 

Here is the content of the Alpamayo_1-000001.vmdk file:

 

 

 

  1. Disk DescriptorFile

version=1

CID=0a50c639

parentCID=c1379f69

createType="vmfsSparse"

parentFileNameHint="Alpamayo_1.vmdk"

  1. Extent description

RW 62914560 VMFSSPARSE "Alpamayo_1-000001-delta.vmdk"

 

 

  1. The Disk Data Base

#DDB

 

 

ddb.toolsVersion = "7302"

 

 

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Thanks!
