    Hi everybody,

    Software: VMWare Workstation 15.0

    Problem: Meanwhile virtual machine is running, each day generates several files (xxxx-S001, xxx-S002, ...) by amount of 20Gb.
    The next day, it generates 20Gb more.

    It's not snapshots! the configuration of virtual marchine hadn't activate the snapshots (only when power off)

    Could I delete all of them?

    Why I've this problem??

    Thanks in advance,

    Guillem

    According to the file names these are indeed snapshot files (6-digit number). Take a look at the VM's configuration, to see whether "Autoprotect" is enabled.
