Deleting replica-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx VMs

We are moving virtual machines (Horizon 7.0.3) to a new SAN.

We can successfully move full desktops (Storage vMotion) and linked-clones (rebalance task) , but we have several instances of virtual machines with the name replica-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.

There is very limited actions that can be performed on these VMs, but can't power on, migration, edit, delete from disk, etc.

I used the following steps from KB Article 1031842 "Determining which replica disk is used for a linked clone virtual machine " and I see the replica name, but there are several that don't  reference to the virtual machines.

I

How can I determine if they are safe to delete and how to delete them.
