Old VM:s shows up
-
Hi!
I've had this pool setup at home for quite a while now, more than 3-4 years, and had made a few upgrades and adjustments to host machines. For some reason though, some old virtual machines still shows up in the xsconsole, even though they are not present in the XOA nor in the servers own management interface. How can I delete these from showing up and clean it up a bit?
Not present VM:s:
Before Ubuntu Update
Blank Windows 11
Kali LinuxThe rest is still present on the system. How do I fix this?

Hi!
I think what you're seeing may be stale entries in the XAPI database, ghost records that can survive upgrades or host reconfigurations.
From what I've read,xe vm-destroy uuid=<vm-uuid>removes the record without touching any storage, which seems like what you need here; the xe CLI reference confirms storage is left intact.
I think you can get the UUID first withxe vm-list name-label="Before Ubuntu Update"(replacing the name with whichever one you're after).
I'm not entirely sure why xsconsole would show them but XO wouldn't, so if the VMs don't turn up inxe vm-list, it might be worth a mention to Team-XAPI-Network, they'll know the right way to dig into XAPI state.
