Hi,  
How can I force remove folder and VMDK files from vCenter when I delete VM Wild by Sunstone.  
Currently when I terminate/delete a Wild VM (previous imported by Sunstone) the Vm Folder and VMDK disks remain in vCenter datasore.

Best regards

Carlos

hi ccesario!

Well i checked your problem, OpenNebula protects Wild machine disks with two mechanisms:

- PERSISTENCY (to prevent the disks to be deleted on VM terminate
- IMPORTED ATTRIBUTTE (to prevent imported disks deletion)

This is why the disks are not removed from vCenter side.

However we are considering this, as you said remove disks from openNebula should be an option so i added the comment to this issue:
