Can't delete files of destroyed VM

Hi!

 

I have a problem deleting some files of an already destroyed virtual machine. This is what I get when attempting to delete the folder:

 

 

 

########################

root@xxx yyy_zzz# rm -rf VM/

rm: cannot remove `VM//VM_2-flat.vmdk': Device or resource busy

rm: cannot remove `VM//VM-flat.vmdk': Device or resource busy

rm: cannot remove `VM//VM_1-flat.vmdk': Device or resource busy

rm: cannot remove `VM//VM-53afe79d.vswp': Device or resource busy

root@xxx yyy_zzz# cd VM/

root@xxx yyy_zzz# vmkfstools -U VM_1-flat.vmdk

Failed to delete virtual disk: Device or resource busy 1048585

#######################

 

The files are located on a LUN shared by seven ESX 3.02 Servers. What can I do to find out which process/system is locking those files? And how can I finally remove this folder?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any help appreciated. Thanks!
