I see an API in this doc for FORCE delete : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/html/version_3_rest_api_guide/sect-actions

DELETE /ovirt-engine/api/vms/5114bb3e-a4e6-44b2-b783-b3eea7d84720 HTTP/1.1
Accept: application/xml
Content-type: application/xml

<action>
    <force>true</force>
</action>

I tried apply the same, but it doesn't seem to be working, I get the following error message

{
    "detail": "[Cannot remove VM. Template is being created from this VM.]",
    "reason": "Operation Failed"
}

But it's status is there in IMAGE_LOCKED state so I need to delete it.

Thanks,

Hari

Hi Team,

I have a VM which is moved to Image locked state in ovirt, I am not able to remove this VM from ovirt,

So Is there a way to perform force delete of VM using ovirt API?

Thanks,
Hari
