Unable to Delete Snapshot or Consolidate Disks Esxi 6.5 - Unable to access file since it is locked

Trying to Consolidate Disk or delete snap shots to be able to convert VMware to Hyper V. Have already done this with a different VM on the same Esxi Host and worked correctly.

 

Getting error:

Failed - Unable to access file since it is locked

Errors:   An error occurred while consolidating disks: One of the disks in this virtual machine is already in use by a virtual machine or by a snapshot.

 

&

 

Remove all the snapshots associated with this virtual machine

Failed - A general system error occurred: vim.fault.GenericVmConfigFault

 

What I've tried so far:

Restarting ESXI host, services, making a copy of the VM and attempting on the copy. I can create a new Snapshot fine, but I am not able to delete the newly created snapshot. I do not have another Esxi Host to try migrating too. I do not have access to the former backup software the company used. The VM does work fine and I do have a backup. Unable to recreate the VM as it has Windows Server 2003 with customized software and limited support.

 

Software being used to convert: 5nine Vmware to Hyperv, errors saying their are snapshots on the VM.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
