To delete virtual machines in RHEL 10, use the command line interface or the web console GUI.

9.1. Deleting virtual machines by using the command line

To delete a virtual machine (VM), you can remove its XML configuration and associated storage files from the host by using the command line.

Prerequisites

  • The VM is shut-down.
  • No other VMs use the same associated storage.
  • Optional: Important data from the VM have been backed up.

Procedure

  • Use the virsh undefine utility:

    For example, the following command removes the guest1 VM, its associated storage volumes, and non-volatile RAM, if any.

    # virsh undefine guest1 --remove-all-storage --nvram
    Domain 'guest1' has been undefined
    Volume 'vda'(/home/images/guest1.qcow2) removed.

Verification

  • Ensure that the VM is no longer present on your host:

    # virsh list --all
