Delete Desktops - Leaves imcxxx.tmp file and folder in VMFS

[thickclouds]

When I remove machines in View it leaves the folder in ESx and a tmp file inside the folder. Any ideas?

I am surprised no one has seen this. Lucky me - VMware engineering has reproduced it... Stay tuned.

I think the imcxxx.tmp is a Windows customization package that is created when deploying a desktop. I see this when I deploy guests. (Don't use View)

The first time the guest is powered on, the .tmp is extracted, and the sysprep process happens,

The .tmp file is a MS .cab format, and can be uncompressed using WinZip.

Not sure why it isn't getting deleted.
