Search for VMDK in all datastores

I have deleted a VM for VSphere client , I was not sure if I deleted it from disk.
I would like to search for it in all datastores. is there an easy way to find it so that I can delete the related files.

Thanks

Is this command Powercli ?

ls vmstores:\myServer@443\Datacenter\datastore1\Win7*

it looks like Linux

I have installed powercli. I am not sure which is better powercli or vcli..I believe vcli uses Linux commands while powercli uses Microsoft commands

I guess powercli will use : Get-VM command
