I think after that command you suggested just need to restart the host and disk partitions can then be deleted normally.

Because VMware software is hopeless I was reinstalling my lab esxi host each time it failed after half way through when vCenter installation stopped and vSAN datastore made it worse for reinstallation. This option removed the vSAN datastore. So much relief of not installing and configuring network every time the installation failed due to some DNSresolve issue it is facing (only during installation) otherwise no issues what so ever with other host additions etc… I tell you VMWare software quality I have found worse than even microsoft. So far encountered about 50 – 60 errors in just last 3 – 4 days.
Great help. Lucky found your article.

Just one thing. vSAN datastore is gone but the disks are still marked for vLAN (green) how to free them for another vCenter installation attempt so that during installation disks are identified available ?
