Generally they will be in a directory named after the virtual machine itself. Good luck!

It's possible to remove it from inventory but not delete the files from disk. Double-click the datastore in VirtualCenter and it will allow you to see the contents of the datastore; from there, you can see if the files are still on the disk. Good luck! Who’s Vincent? :)

I'm having HP DL360G5 server with 500 GB of internal harddisk storage space,with VMWare ESX 3.0.1 and have configured 5 VMs. Recently i removed one VM,as it was not required. The situation now is the disk space of the removed VM is not reflecting the free space of data store. Need some inputs and your views to solve this issue. Thanks regards vj Hi Vincent
