Remove XOA from xcp-ng host

It's a virtual machine as @Danp said. Maybe one of the issue is that you thought it was installed inside the dom0?

It's a VM, so you should be able to just delete it.

not that i can see inside the control interface of the host itself. I am not given that option.

how do i delete xoa? From what I can tell you cannot use xoa to delete itself. If i go to the ip of the host itself..i get the control for the host itself and there's no ability to delete a vm..i can start one..or stop it..that's it

You can delete XOA by logging on the host, either:

from the TUI (xsconsole if you SSH, otherwise it's on the host screen)
from the CLI (xe vm-destroy vm=XOA)

xe vm-destroy vm=XOA
so the xe command gets me a guid error..so I have to go find the guid. No worries there.

the first command gives me the interface i was referring to and in that interface it is not giving me the option to delete a vm..allow me to provide screenshots:

I do not have the option to delete vms here.....and i do not see the ability to delete vm's anywhere else in that interface.

I'm never using the TUI, so I might thought it was there.

Anyway, use xe CLI, you got autocompletion with it and it's very powerful. See the ref in our doc for more details: https://xcp-ng.org/docs/cli_reference.html

You can use the search for more details (eg search for vm destroy)

@olivierlambert this is an old command. Replying because this shows up in a Google search result. The current command is: xe vm-destroy uuid="uuid of VM" (without the quotes)
