One of our virtual disks had some snapshots - we're not exactly sure where they came from. Happens to be the C: drive from a XenServer VM so I exported the VM from XenServer "just in case". I then opened up the Snapshot manager and clicked Delete All. This removed all the snapshots from the list but the disk is still full of multiple ibvd files. Is the deletion of these some background task and I just need to be patient? Screenshot attached.

Regards, Rob.
