You can use the vmkfstools to convert disk format from thick to thin. From the ESX/ESXi terminal you can change vmdk format with the following command: 

vmkfstools -i vm01_1-flat.vmdk -d thin vm01THIN.vmdk

There is a detailed article on the topic http://networklessons.com/vmware/convert-vmware-esxi-thick-provisioned-disk-to-thin/
