Removing an Image Profile

With vSphere Image Builder 5.1, we now have a cmdlet Remove-EsxImageProfile to remove an Image Profile. However, it is important to know that you can't remove an Image Profile from a read-only Software Depot. For example, the predefined Image Profiles available in the ESXi Offline Bundle cannot be removed. The Remove-EsxImageProfile cmdlet can only be used to remove/delete the Image Profiles created by the user.

How to do it…

The following procedure will guide you through the steps required to remove/delete Image Profiles:

  1. Issue the command Get-EsxImageProfile to list all the available Image Profiles.
  2. Identify the Image Profile to be deleted. In this example, we will delete the Image Profile Profile001.
  3. Issue the Remove-EsxImageProfile command to delete the Image Profile.
    Remove-EsxImageProfile –ImageProfile "Profile001"
