Delete Multiple Snapshot Instances with PowerCLI

Hello Guys,

In this post I'm going to show how to delete multiple snapshot instances in VMware vSphere:

1.  You need to construct a PowerCLI query:

             PS /Users/vicentemeneses> 

             $snapshotprd=Get-Cluster C3-PRODUCTION |Get-    VM |Get-Snapshot

             The query above gets all the snapshots in the virtual machines and store the result in a                         variable called $snapshotprd

      2.   After that, you need to check the variable information, just type the variable in PowerCLI:

            PS /Users/vicentemeneses> $snapshotprd

      3.  Delete all the snapshots, take care of the Veeam backup snapshots  

           PS /Users/vicentemeneses> Remove-Snapshot -Snapshot $snapshotmgmt                                                                                       -RemoveChildren
