VMWare player problem with snapshot. Image created as a snapshot using workstation, can't expand disk.

I have VMWare Player 12.1.1.  I have a system image with a 20GB disk.  It was created by someone with Workstation.  I receive the following error when trying to expand the disk:

 

ExpandError.png

 

This system is a snapshot image.  I don't have the ability to manage snapshot images in player.  The list of files in the directory is as follows:

 

ExpandErrorFileList.png

There is nothing in the vmsd file, the vmsd.bak file has:

 

ExpandErrorvmsdbak.png

 

I need to expand the disk image to 40GB.  I don't care about any snapshots.  I would like to reset the system to forget about the original disk if possible, merge the original with the snapshot if possible.  The current version of the image is good to go forward with. 

 

Thanks for any help,

Glen
