The instanceID output identifies this virtual disk in the inventory before and after the
CreateTargetedConfigJob() method creates it.
Note: However, that the instanceID will change slightly after successful creation.

16.18.7 Deleting a Virtual Disk-DeleteVirtualDisk()
The DeleteVirtualDisk() method is used to delete a single virtual disk from the targeted controller. The
successful execution of this method results in the marking of this virtual disk for deletion. The
ObjectStatus property in the virtual disk view will have the value of ‘2’, which indicates pending delete.
The virtual disk will not be deleted until a configuration job is scheduled and the system is rebooted (
Section 16.15).
Invoke DeleteVirtualDisk() with the following parameters and syntax:
TARGET: This parameter is the FQDD of the virtual device ( Section 16.10)
EXAMPLE:
wsman invoke -a DeleteVirtualDisk
