Re: orphaned vmdk files script

That is correct, that is how you run it.

 

Just realised that the parameters can be a bit confusing.

 

In summary:

Remove-OrphanedData -Datastore ds1

will show orphaned VMDK on datastore named ds1.

When you add the Delete switch, the function will delete the files it finds.

Remove-OrphanedData -Datastore ds1 -Delete

It is safer to first run such a delete with the WhatIf switch.

Then the function will show which files it would delete, but not actually delete them.

Remove-OrphanedData -Datastore ds1 -Delete -WhatIf

This is in fact producing approximately the same output as if you run the function without the Delete and WhatIf switch.

The only difference is that you will get a line that starts with "What if: performing..."

 

To run the function against all your datastores, you can do

Remove-OrphanedData -Datastore *

I'm planning a v2 of the function that will have some more intelligence as this version.

But don't hold your breath Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
