[virt-tools-list] deleting VMs from disk

[Osier Yang]

I guess there is no configurable option in virt-manager for this,
libvirt doesn't support remove the disks when undefining the
guest, and I guess virt-manager finally use "virDomainUndefine"
for "delete".

Ideally, it will be good to add some flag to virDomainUndefine API
to tell libvirt removes the disks used by guest, but supposing the
guest have many, and diffrent kinds of disks, which one should be
removed, or remove all of them, or the first one by default? so
it still needs a volume path passed, means no big diffrence
with removing the disk manually IMHO:

# virsh vol-delete $path-of-your-disk

It seems like VM definitions (/etc/libvirt/qemu/*.xml) and VM disk files (/var/lib/libvirt/images/) do not get deleted even after deleting a VM using virt-manager. So the 'delete' action seems more like 'unregister' action for virt-manager. Is there option in virt-manager that deletes these VM files from the disk? Any config options that I need to look?
