Delete a vApp

You can delete a vApp, which removes it from your organization.

Prerequisites

• Verify that the vApp is stopped.
• Verify that you are assigned the predefined role vApp author or an equivalent set of rights.

Procedure

1. On the Virtual Data Center dashboard screen, click the card of the virtual data center you want to explore, and from the left panel, select vApps.
2. Select the vApp you want to delete.
3. From the Actions menu, select Delete.
4. Click OK.

Results

If the vApp contains VMs for which VMware Cloud Director does not have the necessary information and the deletion is not possible, VMware Cloud Director moves these VMs to the StrandedItems_{Name_of_VDC_where_vApp_was_located} folder in vCenter Server and continues the deletion of the vApp. You can locate these VMs in the StrandedItems folder and decide if you want to move or delete them.
