What mistake? is the VM still powered on?
you can power off the VM and delete from the ESXi host as well.. vCenter is not required for that
Hi goodface
What do you mean by you can't delete it?
So the vGuest is in Invalid state, that means it lost the connection to the Storage or it was removed or something different may have occured.
You have different options when you hit the right klick. However, please follow this procedure!
There is a option that worked in previous versions, let's see if that works with 6.5 too, please let me know if it did work.
If that dosn't work, please do this:
This script reloads all invalid virtual machines on a single host at once:
for a in $(vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms 2>&1 |grep invalid |awk '{print $4}'|cut -d \' -f2);do vim-cmd vmsvc/reload $a;done
Please keep me posted, if that worked out.
Best regards,
Marco

Hi goodface,
I have some issues in understanding.
So you have only a Host with this vGuest that you can't delete.
So please do this:
Install VMware PowerCLI
Please run this command this will remove the VM and delete it Permanently.
Best regards,
Marco
