Hi John, Thanks for your reply.
I'm thinking of running the deletion of snapshots once or twice every week. Deleting them all every time would also delete the snapshot that are created just before the script runs if someone is working on their VM. I can still do it using powerCLI script. Although i would prefer if it can be done via ansible. Thanks!
