      <title>Delete orpahned VM from Vsphere 6.5 web client</title>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm trying to delete our older vCenter 5.5 VM (orphaned) via the web client but it's not letting me. We're using 6.5 now so 5.5 is not needed anymore and I can use the disk space. If I right click onto it it gives me different options that the rest of the VM's. The only option I see to delete is if I right click onto it, choose "All vCenter Orchestrator plugin actions" and select "Shut down and delete virtual machine". my problem is when I select that, it bring me to a gray window and nothing happens. How can I permanently delete that VM??&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Capture.PNG"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/70464i3F02BCC1F9B073C2/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Capture.PNG" alt="Capture.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Capture.PNG"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/70465i425FE09184F84EE2/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Capture.PNG" alt="Capture.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here is what is get when I choose shutdown and delete VM from under "All vCenter Orchestrator plugin actions"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="Capture.PNG"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/70466iC2D0C1107251F3C4/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="Capture.PNG" alt="Capture.PNG" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Actually I was able to delete it from the Web UI. It was 3 menus deep so I did not see the option. Thanks anyway!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
