Just read that the latest release of the excellent RVTools is available and can be found here.
Produces really good reports that can be exported to Excel and CSV - I've been using it in its various forms since 2008.
The Health tab is very useful as it warns you about Zombie VMDK files, VM Tools being out of date, Disks running out of space, inconsistent folder names, etc, etc.
Zombie VMDK files are interesting in the fact that they may, or may not, be still linked to the Guest still. Personally I've found a load of former snapshot files which have become "lost" in the system i.e. snapshot manager doesn't state there are any outstanding for the Guest so I remove them. You can always move them first before deleting on the safe side to see if there are any adverse reactions from the Guest!
Additional information about Zombies can be found on the Communities Forum (feedback to a question)
