DeleteObject method of the MSFT_VirtualDisk class

  • Article

Deletes the virtual disk.

After this method is called, the space that was used by the virtual disk is reclaimed and the user cannot reverse the delete operation.

Syntax

UInt32 DeleteObject(
  [in]  Boolean             RunAsJob,
  [out] MSFT_StorageJob REF CreatedStorageJob,
  [out] String              ExtendedStatus
);

Parameters

RunAsJob [in]

If TRUE, this method uses the CreatedStorageJob parameter when the request is taking a long time to service. If a storage job has been created to track the operation, this method will return Method Parameters Checked - Job Started.

Note

Even if RunAsJob is TRUE, this method can still return a result if it has finished in sufficient time.

If FALSE or NULL, this method will follow default WMI asynchronous behavior as determined by the client's method for invocation. In other words, it is synchronous unless requested otherwise.

CreatedStorageJob [out]

If RunAsJob is set to TRUE and this method takes a long time to execute, this parameter receives a reference to the storage job object that is used to track the long-running operation.

ExtendedStatus [out]

A string that contains an embedded MSFT_StorageExtendedStatus object.

This parameter allows the storage provider to return extended (implementation-specific) error information.
