After creating a virtual machine in the VMware Host Client , you can perform different management tasks on the virtual machine, including deleting the virtual machine from the host, remove the virtual machine from a datastore, registering it back on a datastore, and so on. You can also return the virtual machine to the host.

Remove Virtual Machines from a Datastore in the VMware Host Client To free space on the datastore, you can remove the virtual machines that you no longer need. Removing a virtual machine from the VMware Host Client inventory deletes all virtual machine files from the datastore, including the configuration file and virtual disk files. You can delete multiple virtual machines
Register a Virtual Machine in the VMware Host Client If you remove a virtual machine or template from a host but do not remove it from the host datastore, you can return it to the host's inventory.
Using Snapshots to Manage Virtual Machines Snapshots preserve the state and data of a virtual machine at the time you take the snapshot. When you take a snapshot of a virtual machine, the virtual machine is not affected and only an image of the virtual machine in a given state is copied and stored. Snapshots are useful when you must revert repeatedly to the same virtual machine state, but you do not want to create multiple virtual machines.
