Can someone please suggest if there is a way to delete specific hosts after the Dynamic Inventory for VMWare completes updating the list of hosts?  
I want to create a separate job template where the playbook will target and delete specific hostnames from the VMWare Dynamic inventory in AWX.

I think my question would be, why do you want to do this… but if you need to write a playbook to do this then just call DELETE on the host from the api: `/api/v2/hosts/<hostid>/`
