So the other scenario that is seen alot is there may be a sole vmdk in a folder that is out of inventory for a particular VM. The original VM was svmotioned so it left this vmdk in its original location in a folder on the original datastore.
As time goes on this type of cruft is left around and forgot about because someone just REMOVED it from the VM and did not DELETE it.
Do you have any suggestions on how to find these orphan VMDKs just laying around?
thanks!!
