I have deleted a VM. In my folder for config files the xml is still there. That can get messy if I add/remove a lot of VMs.

Is that by design? Why?

The config files should get removed when you delete a VM through Hyper-V manager, and only leave virtual disk files (VHD and AVHD). Is this the only VM you have deleted to see if the behavior repeats?

  • I have played around and created and deleted. I had more xmls than Vms in my list. So, I checked the name tag in the xml and deleted the xmls myself. – user_hyper Jun 20 '13 at 20:23
  • Are you creating VMs in their own separate folders? – DanBig Jun 20 '13 at 20:24
  • Im not 100% sure, but I reinstalled server 2012 some while ago, pointing at the same location for the files. Maybe these VMs were created before reinstalling. in that case, sorry for wasting your time. Edit: The vhdx + config are on another partition and where never deleted when the host died. – user_hyper Jun 20 '13 at 21:17
