I was getting this error while removing Operating System ISO image mounted on the Virtual Machine.
What worked for me, is
1. Uncheck the "Connected and Connect at power on" from Device Status.
2. Then Change the Device type from "Datastore ISO File to Client Device" Radio Button
3. and press OK to save the changes.
Note:- I was able to remove the mounted ISO only by directly logging to the ESXi at https://esxi-ip-address/ui
where it asks
"The guest operating system has locked the CD-ROM door and is probably using the CD-ROM, which can prevent the guest from recognizing media changes. If possible, eject the CD-ROM from inside the guest before disconnecting. Disconnect anyway and override the lock?"
You need to select yes to eject the CD-ROM and then remove the ISO file successfully.
