Re: Snapshot not showing in Snapshot Manager, but 0000002.vmdk still around

Ok, folks...thanks for your patience with me through this process. Sorry to have been such a pain, but your assistance has been instrumental for a newbie like me.

I am down to my last VM with snapshot problems.  This machine appears to be running on the original VMDK files, but has a stale "000002" snapshot file.

This VM presents some challenges, as the size of the VM will prevent me from cloning it as thick.   Since the 000002 file is older than the original VMDK, is there a safe way to verify that the VM knows nothing of this snapshot (look at .VMX or other way?), and just delete the 000002 files if that is the case?
