in the Web client, view Storage. Clicking on the host group or individual data stores you should be able to see VMs, hosts etc. using that resource in the mid rail.

Thanks for your reply Qlemo. <br />
I am just seeing the amount of resources used. &nbsp;But does not specifically tell me the previous activity. Eg. the VM May be on but there may not be any activity. how to confirm there was no activity on the VM or datastore. &nbsp;To enable me to delete it.

How to find unused Datastore/LUN in VMware

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.
