Hi,
How to delete a folder on VMFS partition that dos'nt want to be deleted.
Got a folder in the VMFS partition that used to have a test machine in it. Trough the VI, I went and choose the VM and Choose "Delete from Disk", since I did'nt need it anymore... this usually cleans up everything, including the Directory... But in this case, it did'nt. Going to the console ( SSH ), I tried RMDIR , but comes up with directory not empty. LS or Storage browser dos'nt show any files in that folder...
Any way to force a delete...
Thanks \!!!
Are there hidden files in the directory? Check with
ls -a
Try to remove the directory with
rm -R dirname

Footnote... you can do this via the GUI in VC, via the Datastore Browse view, but you have to delete all the items in a given folder first. So, rm -rf, is the fastest method in the long run.
