Large VM with stuck snapshots.

My Unitrends backup VM somehow acquired a snapshot and I've been unable to clear it. Adding snapshots has only added more and they have failed to delete also. This leaves me with 5 disks that have 00001-00006 suffixes. Unfortunately it's about 9tb (but a lot more on disk with snapshots) and my remote backup storage (over nfs) is pretty slow. I moved 2 disks back over to the local storage but that didn't lighten load enough to make a consolidate/delete work. And I don't have enough free space anywhere to move or clone the whole thing.

Looks like my best bet is to manually consolidate the files now. Anyone have a good guide on this, or a different suggestion?

VMware ESXi, 8.0.3, 25205845 Managed by vCenter 8.0.3.00700 DAS 15 TB with 4.6 Free Remote NFS storage 15TB with 7TB free (after moving 3 TB of the Remote storage files over to DAS)

\*\*\***Fixed**\*\*\* Cloning each disk one at a time with "vmkfstools -i oldest\_snapshot.vmdk target\_disk.vmdk" gave my slow storage the breathing room to deal with it (finished at 11 last night so a full 3 days). Coped VM files, and registered new vm. replaced old disks with new clean clones and it booted up with a few errors that the OS/vCenter seemed to fix. Now it's running a test backup job and I'm off the delete some 00001-00006 files.
