[SOLVED] Accidentally removed directory with VMs - Can't remove VMs from VM list

[jkilbreth]

I recently deleted a directory in my PVE that contained three VMs. Now, not only can I not access them (understandably), but they still appear in my VM list (Server view) on the left pane.

I was planning to rebuild these VMs anyway, so I'm not interested in recovering them, unless it's really easy (maybe I can access an automatic backup of them?). Mainly, I want to cleanup my VM list and begin the rebuilding process.

Thanks in advance for the help!

hi,

if you want them gone from the list, just delete the relevant config files in /etc/pve/qemu-server/ or /etc/pve/lxc/

Thanks for the rapid reply!!!

That worked perfectly. You probably saved me a reinstall and a ton of time.
