Orphaned VM Mystery

$

Hello, VSphere 6.7

 

I spent a couple hours researching this and still do not have a definitive answer.

I had a dozen or more Linked clone VM's that were no longer in VMware Horizon pools. I had shut them all down with the intention to delete them. I did some work on the cluster that initiated a failover. After the cluster was healthy again these VM's were all orphaned. I want to delete them from disk but most of the research I did only mentioned removing from inventory. When I look at the VSAN storage these all still have folders and vmdk. I tried to register one but that did not work.

I opened PowerCLI and  Get-VM -Name *  on the host. None of the orphaned VM's were listed. So now I am not sure what to do. Can I just remove from inventory and delete the data folders?

 

Thanks
