Yep...as long as no needed VMs or data is on it. Just rt-click on it and select Delete (NOTE: this operation wipes all data off it). Once deleted from your Host/vCenter, you can then remove the LUN on your SAN if you want.<br />

I have created a lun for testing from storage and I finished my VM testing. Now I deleted the volumes from, OS and removed it from VM. &nbsp;I want to know the proper way to remove the LUN. Can I now go ahead and delete the datastore, and then delete the LUN?

Vmware datatore delet and remove from storage question

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
