Hi Karel! From the Admin guide: Decommission VM command: "When a virtual machine is no longer needed in your production environment, you can issue this command to initiate a staged removal of the virtual machine file space from the server. The DECOMMISSION VM command marks all data that was backed up for the virtual machine as inactive, so it can be deleted according to your data retention policies. After all data that was backed up for the virtual machine expires, the file space that represents the virtual machine is deleted."
So the file space should be removed by TSM automatically as soon as all data has expired...
