Found out a nifty command which allows you to find out what VM’s have Delta / Snapshot files. Run this when SSH’d in.

find /vmfs/volumes/ -name "*delta*" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 du --human-readable --total

Or for ESXi the command below

find /vmfs/volumes/ -name "*delta*" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 du -h
