Delete a VM
Being able to delete a VM would be extremely useful. Is this a limitation on
the vSphere SDK or on pysphere. If its pysphere I would be more than happy to
write the module for it.
Original issue reported on code.google.com by [email protected] on 5 Apr 2012 at 12:52
Check this thread from the discussion group:
http://groups.google.com/group/pysphere/browse_thread/thread/be1d6c1af114160d#
It is explained there how to unregister a VM and later how to remove its files
from the datastore.
But I agree with you that a simpler interface should be added (probably to the
VIServer class).
Something like: "delete_vm_by_path(path, remove_files=True)".
I'm leaving this issue opened. But I'll change the type label from Defect to
Enhancement.
Thanks for your contribution!

Thanks, this is extremely useful.
Until you submit the code, how can we use it in my code?
I'm new to python and can't seem to get around the @/+/- signs in file.

Thanks for the patch! I've cleaned it up a bit (line endings, raises instead of
prints).
To apply it just use the patch command:
patch <original file> <patch file>
