Completely deleting VMs from host

Message:

I have been working with my test VS server and have since created a few VMs
and deleted them. However, after I delete them and delete the VHDs from the
....\All Users\My Shared VMs\ folder, I still cannot use the name again.

How can I completely delete the VM so I can reuse the name?

Thanks
Bart

Cant Add a VM in Virtual Server

If you've moved or removed a VM around you'll eventually run into this
issue. When you try to re-add a VM with the same name as the one that
was removed, you get the message "The virtual machine could not be
added. The virtual machine configuration could not be added. A
configuration with this name already exists."

The solution to this problem is pretty simple, but it's definitely not
obvious. You simply need to delete the shortcut with the same name
that’s located here:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Virtual
Server\Virtual Machines

I finally got to link to my blog!
