# Removing Microsoft Hyper-V Servers

If you no longer need an SCVMM server, cluster or host to be connected to Orchestrator, you can remove it.

1. Select the SCVMM server, cluster or host and click **Remove**.
2. The **Dependency Check** window will inform you if any recovery locations or recovery plans are related to the connection.

   - If any of the items occur to be *Locked*, Orchestrator will not be able to remove the connection.

     In this case, wait until Orchestrator stops processing the items, remove this SCVMM server, cluster or host from the locked recovery locations, reset the locked recovery plans — and then try removing the connection again.

   - If none of the items are *Locked*, click **Continue** to confirm the operation.

3. Click **Remove** in the **Remove Connection** window.

::: important

As soon as you remove the connection from Orchestrator, all VMs will be deleted from the related recovery plans.
