Step 2: Unregister VM
- Right click the VM > Unregister This will remove the VM from the inventory.
Step 3: Move Datastore

- Choose destination datastore.
- Wait for the move to complete.
Step 4: Register VM
- Storage > Choose the destination datastore > Register a VM > Choose the .vmx file > Register
- While prompted choose I moved
- This will add the VM to the inventory.
Step 5: Power ON VM
