Views show up in multiple places. When you're tempted to delete a view, ask yourself: Do I want to delete this entire view, or do I just want to no longer show it in one part of the UI?

Don't delete a view when you just want to hide it in one part of the UI. When you delete a view, areas in the UI that use the view are adjusted:

• Report templates: The view is removed from the report template
• Dashboards: The view widget displays the message The view does not exist
• Further Analysis panel of badges on the Analysis tab: The link to the view is removed
• Details > Views tab for the selected object: The view is removed from the list

vRealize Operations will display a message informing you that deleting the view will modify the report templates that are using the view.
