While trying to start VM, I got an error message. It says the following.
"There is no more space for Virtual disk abcdxyz-000001.vmdk. VM not starting.You might be able to continue this session by freeing disk space on the relevant volume, and clicking button.retry. Click button.abort to terminate this session."
In order to further troubleshoot, I found that I have multiple .vmdk files in datastore that may consume the space. But unsure which is the vmdk in use, I am not able to delete the unnecessary one.name of Actual VMDK is ***********_1.vmdk.
Also I am not sure why these are created. I am quite new to VM ware.
My VM ware Esxi is 6.0.0 and V sphere Client version is 6.0.0.
In data store I can see a file named abcdxyz_1-000001.vmdk then .vswp files are created.
Can somebody tell me the procedure to find out which .vmdk files are unnecessary and can be safely deleted from disk.
