DestroySystem method of the Msvm_VirtualSystemManagementService class

Deletes a virtual system. The specified virtual system is deleted, including any elements scoped by it. The virtual resources of the deleted virtual system are returned to their resource pools, which, depending on the implementation may imply the deletion of those resources. If the virtual system is active when the operation is invoked, it is first deactivated and then deleted. If snapshots were created from the virtual system, they are also deleted.
