Removing failed capacity disk
In case of a failed capacity disk we can remove it using:
- Go to Cluster -> Configure -> Disk management and view all disks in cluster. We should be able to find a failed or inaccessible disk in cluster.
- Once the ESXi host is identified put the host in maintenance mode using "Ensure accessibility" option.
- We can remove the failed disk using graphical remove option. This may require going to pre-check to ensure that removing it has no adverse effect. We should not have any inaccessible object after removal.

Removing failed cache disk
In case a cache disk fails we need to remove entire disk group. For that:
- Go to Cluster -> Configure -> Disk management and view all disks in cluster. We should be able to find a failed or inaccessible cache disk in cluster.
- Once the ESXi host is identified put the host in maintenance mode using "Ensure accessibility" option.
- We can remove the disk group which has failed cache disk using graphical remove disk group option

Command line removal of disk or disk-group
The above steps can be done via CLI by referring https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2150567
