ESX snapshots

ESX snapshots by default are created in the virtual machine directory, even if the virtual machine directory & virtual disks are located on different datastores.

To change the location of the snapshot, add (or edit) the following line to the .vmx file of the VM:
workingDir="[new_path_location]"

Force a re-read of the virtual machine configuration by issuing the command:
vimsh -ne "vmsvc/reload [VmId]" see also May 13th
