What are the purpose of ESXi local storage usage ?

Hi All,

I've got multiple ESXi servers running on HP DL rack servers, all of them have about 72 GB of local VMFS datastore per ESXI servers.
Since there are about 12+ of the empty VMFS datastore, what are the best usage for the local datastore and would be best if I delete/unmount them from the ESXi server to prevent someone using it ?

Yes, I understand in that regards :-) VSAN requires license too. (Not free).

So far they are all empty, I guess it is possible to just unmount it safely ?
