How to Remove a Virtual Machine from Inventory List
1) Using the vSphere Client, select the VM. Right-click and choose either Remove from Inventory or Delete from Disk. Remove from Inventory will remove the virtual machine from the inventory list but leave the underlying directory of files in the datastore. On the other hand, Delete from Disk will remove from inventory as well as delete the directory from the datastore.
Removing a Virtual Machine is obvious, but adding one is not!
How to Add a Virtual Machine to Inventory List
1) Using the vSphere Client, switch to the Summary tab.
2) Select the appropriate datastore. Right-click and select Browse Datastore.
3) The Datastore Browser will open up. Navigate to the virtual machine directory you want to add.
4) Select the .vmx file. Right-click and select Add to Inventory.
5) Enter a name for this virtual machine. Click Next.
6) Select resource pool and click Next.
7) Click Finish.
8) Close Datastore Browser.
9) You should now see your VM added to the Inventory List.
