    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.

    There is no template associated with this network

    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.

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