Deleting Snapshot hangs
I was attempting to delete an old snapshot to save disk space, but it hung for quite some time, so I closed out of the application and restarted, and it's still stuck deleting the snapshot. I can't start the VM or restore it. How can I fix this?

Sorry, I guess I just had to keep waiting. After about another 10 minutes it did finish. Apparently it had the background process running despite me killing the UI.

Re: Deleting Snapshot hangs
You were lucky to get away with that. Snapshots are huge traps for the unwary, in addition to being monstrous disk hogs.
