Hi all, I come across one of my VM which have the warning message"Virtual machine disk consolidation is needed " and I check and there's no existing snapshots under SnapShot manager.
When I browse the datastore I a lot of vmdk files such as the below. How do I properly proceed with clearing up ? It's a production server so would it be safe for me to power off ?
The ESX server is running ESX Server 5.1 U1
