Issue

Live snapshot deletion was causing actual disk size to grow and never redeemed even after snapshot deletion. This cause waste of space for no reason.
Nominally we should have a usage of 1355 Gb Virtual Size while in reality we have an Actual Size of 3979Gb .
A support procedure is needed to reduce the Actual Size of those VM and a way to avoid it happen.
