Unable to delete an Orphaned Checkpoint

$

Hi,

I have a SCVMM 2012 R2 instance with 3 hosts

I recently moved a VM between the hosts which failed. Having tidied up I was left with a bunch of checkpoints on the VM, which I removed via the SCVMM GUI

The VM shows that it has no checkpoints (which is good), however some other objects within SCVMM (Namely VM Networks) show the checkpoints as dependencies, meaning I can't delete the VM Network.

If I run get-scvmcheckpoint from powershell I'm returned 4 checkpoints, none of which have an associated VM

(output from most recent below)

ParentCheckpointID    : 87F48F7D-AD2A-49BB-8E0A-F981317ABF2C

And If I try get-scvmcheckpoint | remove-scvmcheckpoint I'm just returned an error:

VMM cannot find a required object. (Error ID: 20404)

Ensure the object is valid, and then try the operation again.

Is there any way for me to remove these orphaned checkpoints?

Phil
