Using the Delete menu
The Delete menu allows you to delete one or more virtual machines, virtual switches, or virtual
machine I/O devices.
Figure 5-5 shows the choices that might be available when you select the
Delete menu. The choices are enabled according to the view and tab. In Figure 5-5 , the Virtual
Machine... option is enabled and the Virtual Switch... and I/O Device... options are disabled.
The Virtual Machine... option is enabled at the VM Properties view or any VM Host or Vswitch
Properties tab where you have selected one or more virtual machines (such as the VM Host
Virtual Machines
tab, as shown in Figure 5-5 ). The Virtual Switch... option is enabled at the
Vswitch Properties view or any VM Host or VM Properties tab where one or more virtual switches
are selected. The I/O Device... option is enabled at any Network or Storage tab where one or
more I/O devices are selected.
From tabs that list and allow selection of multiple virtual machines, virtual switches, or I/O
devices, you can simultaneously delete all selected objects.
