Hi ,

Is this a local Data store .

Please browse and check any VMs / data inside the drive  , any vm there please relocate .

then unmount the device and delete from console .

or

Use CLI if issue persists  , use partedutil , refer below KB

https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=10366...

I already check before write discussion:

1- Datastore is empty.

2- Unmounted and delete from inside console but the same error.

3- Try from command can unmounted but can't delete by use.

Hi,

You can format or delete the partition and try

# partedUtil mklabel /dev/disks/<disk id> msdos

You need to run the command for each disk that you’re having issues , this overwrites the partition table with a standard msdos one which VMware can work with

* It will ERASE ALL DATA on the disk in question so be careful to select the right disks.

let me know if you face any error also share me the full outputs / running commands

Did this datastore contain e.g. ISO images? Please check whether one or more of the VM's still have this path/iso set in their virtual CD-ROM's settings. In this case set the CD-ROM settings to "Client Device".
