DestroySystem method of the CIM_VirtualSystemManagementService class
Destroys a virtual system.
The referenced virtual system is destroyed, including any elements scoped by it. Virtual resources are returned to their resource pools, which may imply the destruction of those resources (implementation dependent). If the virtual system is active when the operation is invoked, it is first deactivated and then destroyed. If snapshots were created from the virtual system, these are destroyed as well.
