Developer called me asking me what happen to a server ? Some reason the vm was deleted from the inventory. I went to the data store to see whether I can find anything. I noticed there was the vm folder.<br />
I clicked on to the vmx file to add to the inventory , but it was grayed out. I closed the datastore then tried to go into that the folder VM disappeared.<br />
<br />
How do I find this vm deleted date or other evidence? it stumped me, never had this issue.

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.
