ESX Dont show my new Template

I've Cloned To Template an Host from my ESX Cluster and I named it DRP. When the process was completed, I do not see the new template from my inventory. I did a refresh etc, nothing showing-up. I browsed the datastore where I saved the template and I saw the directory named DRP with the vmx files etc. I've right-clicked on the Template file and I choosed the option Add to inventory. I've try to named it DRP but I can't because the name are already existed. So I took the name DRP_Template and I've got the same error..

So, I deleted the folder directrly from the datastore and I'm tryed to re-create my template. Now I have the error that the name DRP are already exist...

I was using the command vmware-cmd -l and it show only the VM from my inventory, I dont see any DRP.

So my question is, how I can remove the name DRP from my inventory or database, if I dont see it ?

Thanks

Try deleting the template from the VMs and Templates view. In the Client click Home and then choose VM and Templates.

you are looking in the Virtual Machines and Templates View while in vCenter? Since templates are a feature of vCenter, they won't show up in your ESX(i) inventory if you connect directly to the host with the vSphere Client.
