    Did you run the first example of Powershell? That only looks at the current host. There's another bit of code below that that gets all the hosts and works on each one individually.

    If the file is missing I don't think I'm going to be able to help.

    Can you delete that checkpoint using the GUI? Or is the "Delete" option missing from the checkpoint?

    I think you need to move your question to a Hyper-V forum. Those folks will have a better understanding of the snapshot/checkpoint process.

    Veeam should be asking Hyper-V to create and manage the snapshot, so I don't think it's a problem that they've created (unless the snapshot is somehow "owned" by their software).

    Hello

    the problem is that the file exist, and i can merge them to parent file manually. :)

    the delete option give the same error

    Check the properties of each snapshot returned by the Get-VMSnapshot and see of you find the files in the paths you find there.

    Perhaps the code behind the GUI is handling errors, which the simple pipeline you've been using doesn't.

    https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2207591-hyper-v-unable-to-delete-checkpoint-file-not-found

    I still think that asking your question in a forum for Hyper-V would be helpful.
