Thanks to all those fantastic people who have responded

I have powered off this particular VM for the time being. And have recovered 
35gb in swapfile

I have taken a new successful snapshot. Which then allowed me to delete “all” 
snapshots. Including those old delta files.  This will take a few hours to 
complete. But then should give me back 100gb of space

Appreciate all the assistance. I’ll keep you posted how it goes tomorrow
