vcops customer "dead objects" still being displayed

[duhaas]

I have several datastores that are no longer around buy vcops still shows them as white boxes in some screens related to storage.  Anyone have an idea on how I can get rid of them?

Check this KB article: Removing non-existent virtual machines from the vCenter Operations Manager vApp (2020638)

Or you can just go to the environment overview.. select the tag filter "not existing".. and then you'll see all of the resources that no longer exist in vCenter. Select the resources you want to delete, then select the option to remove it.

Hi

Welcome to communities.

That KB is not applicable to this question. You're showing KBs on cleaning up vCenter by manually DELETING virtual machine. This absolutely should not be done to clean up vC Ops's inventory - see my response above and well as the previous poster.
