Remove VM from Vmware View

We use VMware view Horizon at work. Sometimes when VDI computer does not connect to the back end VM, we reset the VM or unassign the VDI, however sometimes it does not work, so we remove the VM from VMware view, and reboot the VDI so that it connects to another VM .
I would like to know the impact of removing VM from VMware View. is it gone forever or still exist somewhere ?

Thanks

When you right-click on the VM, you will see Remove , I believe you also see "Delete". I am not in front of the console now.

So what is the impact of each of them ? does the got removed just from the list or something else gets removed in the background ?
Either way Removing it help the VDI reconnect successfully...I did not check if the VDI has chosen another VM

I believe in our Environment they use VMware Composer. If the VM is deleted from VMware view I guess it can get re-created.
for instance if you set up the loop to 100 VMs, if one VM gets deleted , the composer will create a new one.
That 's what I have been told.
Correct ?

In which case you are saying when VMs are removed, the same names will be recreated at some point in time,  
ex:  PDT1-150
there will be no PDT151 at any time
