ESXi wont uninstall

hi all.

i have a dl160 G10 hp server.

so i have ESXi v7 installed, and there is 4 SSD in total.

i booted to bios and cleared all raid configurations and i created raid 0+1 with all 4 SSD.

when I tied to boot USB to windows I got booted to ESXI. so I disconnected all 4 SSD and tried to boot normally and still, i got booted to ESXI is there!!

can someone explain the issue? is there an internal drive not showing anywhere ( windows setup and raid config )

or is there something else I need to understand?

either way how to remove it?

If all drives are disconnected, then I guess that the server has an internal SD/USB device on which ESXi has been installed.
Check the storage settings in the ESXi web UI, to find out about the size of the device, which may give you a hint.

A moderator should be along to move your thread to the area for ESXi.
