Need to delete my VM on Vcenter or Vsphere

Dear all

Due to huge volume of snapshot , we decide to stop our one VM DR fo noun used server and delete VM from Data Center.

 

However , all data are existing on datastore  /vmfs/volumes

 

And we have tryed to delete from SSH  with root privilege but we can't, with issue Bad Adress

 

root@cdata01:/vmfs/volumes/5aa731d3-871ed2fd-6242-d094662ed116/API_2] rm -r API
_2.nvram
rm: remove 'API_2.nvram'? yes
rm: can't remove 'API_2.nvram': Bad address

We also try to delete it by Winscp with root privilege   but  we have the same issue

"

Permission insuffisante
Code d'erreur : 3
Message d'erreur du serveur : Permission denied

"

 

Could you please help us how to delete correctly this VM please

As you stated its a one of DR VM, validate and remove from any protection group and later try to delete from vpshere/esxi  or from esxicli or powercli command line.
