Resize Hard Disk - Greyed Out / Have Snapshots for this VM - Unclear what deleting them will do to VM

$

Hello,

 

I have a File Server VM here and Local Disk C is Full (40GB). I want to expand the volume size in VSphere but the option is greyed out, after doing some research I was able to find out that the 2 snapshots attached to this particular VM are the reason why I can't extend the volume.

 

My questions are:

 

  • What happens to my VM if I delete the snapshots? (I was told by my friend that deleting them will render the VM useless)
    • one of them is 9.05 TB
    • the other is 25 MB
  • Can I delete the snapshots while the VM is on?
  • Do I need equivalent space (equal to the size of the snapshots) on my datastore to delete the snapshots?

 

The datastore still has 4.49 TB remaining
