Hello Annanhutomo,

If it is a local Disk means IDE then, select VM from the inventory--> in hardware section of the summary tab click the hard disk to remove and select one of the options.

-->Remove

-->Delete from disk

Remove option will keep the virtual disk files on the host system whereas delete will remove all associated files.

Click ok.
