After the deletion of the "Service 1.5" snapshot, which snapshot becomes the current state for the VM?

When a snapshot is deleted in VMware, the state of the virtual machine (VM) reverts to the most recent snapshot that remains. In this scenario, if "Service 1.5" is deleted, the snapshot that was taken prior to it, which is "Service 1," becomes the current state for the VM. This occurs because snapshots create a point in time that saves the entire state of the VM including the disk, memory, and settings at that moment. When "Service 1.5" is removed, the VM has no choice but to fall back to the last snapshot that exists, which is "Service 1."

Other snapshots, such as "Service 2" or "Photon-01," do not become current automatically as they are not the last snapshot taken before "Service 1.5." Similarly, "Service 1.5" cannot become the current state as it is being deleted. Therefore, the current state after the deletion is "Service 1."
