Delete a Stranded Item
You can delete a stranded item to attempt to remove an object from vSphere that you already deleted from
Cloud Director.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Stranded Items in the left pane.
2 Right-click a stranded item and select Delete.
Cloud Director attempts to delete the stranded item from vSphere.
3 Refresh the page display.
If the delete operation is successful, Cloud Director removes the item from the stranded items list.
What to do next
If the delete operation is unsuccessful, you can force delete the item. See “Force Delete a Stranded Item,” on
page 67.
Force Delete a Stranded Item
If Cloud Director is unable to delete a stranded item, you can force delete it to remove it from the stranded
items list. The stranded item will continue to exist in vSphere.
Before you force delete a stranded item, try to delete it. See “Delete a Stranded Item,” on page 67.
Procedure
1 Click the Manage & Monitor tab and click Stranded Items in the left pane.
2 Right-click a stranded item and select Force Delete.
Cloud Director removes the item from the stranded items list.
