Cannot delete network

[Simselain]

Hello,

I'm facing an issue where I can't delete a standard network.

This network is not attached to any host anymore but one VM is reported using it.

Anyway this is false (see screenshots). How can I remove/delete this network ?

Check your templates. One is probably assigned that network.

[Simselain]

There is no template associated with this network

[daphnissov]

Check snapshots on all VMs and remove. If you had a snapshot that referenced this, it'll show like it does.

The network was indeed locked by a snapshot. Thanks for your help.

Hi @Malcolm Spiller 

1. The VM is showing as Powered on, login to ESXi host directly and check if the VM's or stale entry of VM is showing or not.
2. Login to ESXi host directly and check if the VM is showing in host also or not.
3. Restart the Management services on all ESXi hosts which has VM-Prod standard port.
4. Restart vCenter services and check.

Hope This will help you

First you need to remove the port group from VM which showing connected. Once you remove you are able to delete the port group.
