    Looks like both image exits on vCMP Host device, that the reason you are not able to delete it.

        @samir Jha If the particular image is deleted from the host , will affect other hosts that have been created . What is the best way to remove the older version without potentially affecting others ?

    If you remove from vCMP host, it will automatically dispear from all vCMP guests​ which has hosted in one viprion. I don't see any impact on other unit.

    Why don't just copy image to secure location for future use.​

    ​

    And remove image safely...

    Hi gefela,

     

    Have you try to do this in CLI ? images are located /shared/images folder.
