I experienced some trouble trying to delete a segment with the NSX-T Policy UI. There was an error message complaining about a virtual machine that was still attached to the segment. I verified this message by going into vCenter and checking all the virtual machines and I was sure there were no virtual machines connected to this segment.
I fired up postman and tried to delete the segment through the REST API and again I got the same error message.
I looked-up the API call in the online documentation and discovered that there's also a force delete option. Force delete bypasses validations during segment deletion. This may result in inconsistent connectivity.
