If you cant find it in the task/events then you will have to check the vpxd logs ( depends on version ) located /var/log/vmware/vpxd

You will have to grep out vim.ManagedEntity.destroy

then get the session ID, it will be a long string following it like 52097394-9853-3ed3-b120-04e70054141

then you will have to search the profiler logs to match this up

Its a painful process
