Hi,

You'd be able to get better answers to your questions in the general vSphere 6.0 forum. The current one is specifically for users of the vSphere Client SDK. Will ask some team members to take a look at your query.

Best,

Hi,

Please try the following:

1. SSH to the host

2. Execute "vim-cmd /vmsvc/getallvms" and find your VM ID

3. Execute "vim-cmd /vmsvc/unregister <VM ID>" - This should remove the VM from the host's inventory

4. You can remove the VM files

If you want to know how to do that from the Host Client, I would recommend you to ask this in the  vSphere Host Client forum.
