While working with and maintaining the VM environment, we may need to remove and re-add resources (VMs, Hosts) and keep the same name.
This leaves old objects in the database.
Looking at resource lists in vCops (customUI) you will see several objects of the same name, but different IDs, and different "Identifier 2" values, while the Identifier 1 and Identifier 3 values are the same.
Is there a way to remove the records of old objects?
