Question: 1 / 400

What happens to files on backing storage when a Content Library is deleted?

The files will be unchanged.

The files will be deleted.

When a Content Library is deleted in VMware, the associated files on the backing storage are indeed deleted. This means that the virtual machine templates, ISO images, and any other files that were stored in the Content Library are removed from the datastore where they were held. The design of the Content Library ensures that when a library is no longer needed and is deleted, all items within it are also cleaned up to prevent unnecessary storage consumption and maintain an organized environment.

This is an important aspect of managing storage resources in a VMware infrastructure. Understanding this functionality helps administrators prevent unintended data retention and manage their datastores more effectively by ensuring that obsolete or unneeded files are purged upon the deletion of the Content Library.
