So I wasn't 100% clear on the RCLI instructions for patching ESXi to get it working again, I just downloaded the update and repaired my ESXi installation.
When I connected with VI Client my Virtual Machine inventory was empty and so I started to add them back manually ... is there a way that I can remove VMs that I don't want directly from my VMFS store without manually importing the machines back into ESXi?
In ESX3.5 (not sure on ESXi) putty to the host and go to vmfs store and remove them.
Hello,
Moved to ESXI Forum.

"Remove VMs"? Delete virtual disks and other files?
You could use VIC and browse datastore, then delete files.
Now I see how to do it, right click on datastore and then Browse Datastore.
Thanks very much, now I cleaned up my datastore nicely! :smileygrin:
