Esx find not added vmx files
Our stuff has made a mistake while removing virtual machines , they had bring the vmx files and just removed from the invertory.
We are using cloud nodes and 1 storage with 3HDD on storage.
Is there any way to find vmx directories which is not added to the cluster

Install powergui power pack for vmware (which requires vmware powercli from vmware)
Then look for "orphaned vmdk report"
Alternatively on a single ESXi machine you can SSH and run find / -name *vmdk -mtime +10
i.e look for files named vmdk and not modified recently
