After an application is no longer needed, a user puts in a ticket to delete the VM. The administrator finds the VM in Prism Central and deletes it, but then realize that it was a Self-Service (formerly Calm) managed VM.
When the administrator attempts the application in Self-Service using the Delete action, it fails because the Substrate cannot be found.

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
When a VM managed by Self-Service (formerly Calm) is deleted manually from Prism Central, the associated application in Self-Service cannot be deleted using the standard delete action because the substrate is no longer present. In this scenario, the administrator should use the "Soft Delete" action in Self-Service, which will remove the application from management without requiring the substrate to be present.
