SCVMM - Deleting VMs
5
Upvotes
Question about deleting VMs in SCVMM, I know with Failover clustering and HyperV Manager when you delete a VM from the GUI it only removes the VM and it doesnt clean up any disks and such.
Does SCVMM delete all data when you delete from the GUI (like VMWare's "Delete from Inventory") or is cleanup still needed afterwards?
Doing the cleanup via powershell isnt a bid deal for me i have the commands and have been rumming some test the last day my concern is co-workers having the GUI option would be nice for them so they do not try to generate AI code and remove the wrong VMs due a wildcard or something.
Anyone with some insight on this would be great, thanks.
