$ virsh undefine --domain ${vm_name} --remove-all-storage

try on your machine

The command "virsh undefine" is used to remove a virtual machine (VM) definition from the libvirt hypervisor. In this case, the command is followed by the flag "--domain" which specifies the name of the VM to be undefined.

The "${vm_name}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the VM that you want to undefine. You would need to replace it with the desired name of the VM.

The "--remove-all-storage" flag indicates that all associated storage devices (disks, volumes, etc.) related to the VM should also be removed. This ensures that any disk images or storage resources associated with the VM are deleted along with the VM definition.

Overall, this command is used to completely remove a virtual machine definition and any associated storage resources from the libvirt hypervisor.
