add and remove vms and datastores from a protection group?

When I created my protection group, there were VMs that were included that I did not want to protect.

I orginally thought I would just "unprotect" them - but since that puts an ! in yellow symbol on the protection group, I figured I would create a new data store that was not included in the protection group, and then storage vmotion the vms off to it.

So I have done that, but the vms in question remain in the "protection group" and I still have the ! symbols. How do I clean that up?

The flip side of this - if down the road I add new drives, on a new datastore, to protected vms -- how do I add the new datastore to the protection group?
