Cleaning up VMware snapshots

If you cycle through all your snapshots and then delete files whose "Last Accessed" timestamp hasn't changed, you can recover quite a bit of disk space.

I have no idea why VMware doesn't always delete snapshot files (.vmdk, .vmem, etc.) after you've explicitly deleted a snapshot from the GUI, but all the cruft adds up. Last time I did this, I got back about 5 gigabytes across three VMs.
