Can't delete Organization

Hi, I have a vCloud setup but I want to scrap it and start again.  I have removed all the vApps, Media and disks but cannot delete anything else.

When I try to delete the Organization VDC is says: "you must remove all edge gateways, networks, vApps, media and disks from this VDC before you can delete it". 

However If I try to remove the edge gateway I get:  Edge gateway has org VDC Networks attached to it.  Please delete the network(s) before attempting to delete the edge gateway".

Any thoughts??

I would recommend opening up a Support Request with VMware support. We can dive into the DB if necessary but may be worth while having us look first hand to see what's up.

I've fixed this in vCD 5.x+ using MS-SQL with the following query, if you are familiar with T-SQL this should help guide you in the right direction. Take a backup before modifications and keep in mind this is not provided as a supported solution from VMware. As such, I can't be held responsible for any issues this causes, I have the luxury of a non-production environment.

--OLD OrgvDC you are prevented from deleting

DECLARE @oldOrgvDCname AS varchar

SET @oldorgvdcname = 'Cloud ServiceFabric Development'

--A New OrgvDC within the same datacenter (Shared Networks)

DECLARE @newOrgvDCname AS varchar

SET @newOrgvDCname = 'CSF-Demonstration-OrgvDC01'

-- Replace the Logical Resource Mapping

UPDATE dbo.vdc_logical_resource

SET vdc_id = (Select id from org_prov_vdc Where name = @newOrgvDCname)

WHERE lr_type = 'NETWORK' AND vdc_id = (Select id from org_prov_vdc Where name = @oldorgvdcname)

-- From here you should be able to delete the empty OrgvDC.
