Removing the Snapshot
You can remove the snapshot any time the virtual machine is powered off. Removing the snapshot writes the contents of the snapshot to the virtual disk, it does not destroy any data in the virtual machine. Moving forward, any changes you make as you run the virtual machine are written to the virtual disk. You cannot revert to a previous state because the snapshot no longer exists.
To remove the snapshot, shut down and power off the virtual machine. Then choose Snapshot > Remove Snapshot.
Note: Removing a snapshot when the virtual machine is powered off can take a long time, depending upon the size of the snapshot file. While you are removing the snapshot, other consoles may not be able to connect to the server host and the users trying to connect may see an error that the VMware Registration Service (vmware-serverd) is not running.
