Thin Provision VMs not shrinking with sVmotion

$

Hello -- I have a number of VMs which have changed functions and things and have a lot of space I want to re-claim from them. I've done the usual sdelete -c for all of the drives and the OS is showing all of the free space. I have about 5 VMs that i'm doing this with and so far 2 have worked but 3 have not even after 2-3 sVmotions to another datastore.

 

Of course the 3 that aren't working are the largest ones where I need the most space too, what is plan B if sVmotion doesn't work? Is there a reason why some VMs would work and some wouldn't work? I need to reclaim the space from these VMs to complete the raid-level migration I'm trying to do.

 

Any help is appreciated --

 

Thanks
