Unknown file left after deleting VM in ESXI 5.5, can't delete it, how?

The virtual machine broke down, after long manipulations it was not possible to restore it. I decided to completely remove the hard drive, but it was deleted with an error.

After that, I went into the datastore and saw the vmkdump folder there, because this folder was not needed (it seemed to me) I decided to delete it too, but the error popped up again ....

I have 3 servers on ESXI 5.5
As I noticed, each server has storage there is this directory with vmkdump.
Found ( an article . Where it is advised to move this file and not create it after rebooting the server. But I decided to try to do the same on a test bench. And when I installed ESXI 5.5, I didn’t have this file ...
Friday ended very joyfully.
Please help !

disk failure. Therefore, it does not allow you to delete the file. I think the disk needs to be run through a check. I have one of these. but something did not bother with this question
