Re: Unable to delete folder of dead vm , even unable to find any process or World id , need to force delete

i can rename but not delete

You are able to rename from the same ESX server where you are trying to delete it??

The problem is that the LUN is showing as if i can expand the current

datastore to it even it is already part  of current datastore

Error delete \vmfs\volumes\uuid\grid controller

Now, you had me a bit confused. Can you explain your setup a little bit, provided with some error messages from logs or even screenshots would be fine.
