When a job is stuck, how do you remove "In Progress" in vSphere client?
I had 2 backups freeze at 5% and I canceled them in the web gui for Acronis. Unfortunately in vSphere client, even though these jobs have LONG been canceled, it shows 2 tasks "Acronis vmProtect Backup - In Progress".
How do I remove this from vSphere? I powered off the Acronis appliance and vSphere automatically flattened the snapshots for these two machines unlike last time where I had to detach disks from the appliance run fixdelete.py script, create snapshot and remove snapshots.
Also the Acronis vmProtect appliance never fully turns off. You click the YES button on the conformation dialog to shut down, but the button just becomes stuck in the pressed state and you can't do anything further. It ends up still running with a red exclamation mark on the machine (Virtual Machine CPU Usage).

I have tried this. When we cloned one VM, it got stuck because of over utilized memory. We actually went to the colocation and did a hard reboot.
