What are the steps to remove a replication job?

Depending on what you are trying to achieve, you can either just remove a job, leaving the original VM and/or replica VM registereed in VI, or remove those as as well.

1. Can I delete the replicated virtual machine?

Do you mean removing the original VM from Veeam B&R console or "physically" removing it from VI?

2. Can I delete the job?

Yes, you can delete the replication job by right-clicking it in the Veeam B&R UI and selecting the corresponding command. Replica VM will be left registered in VI.

3. Can I delete the replicas?
a. remove from replicas?

This command will remove replica VM record from Veeam B&R database and UI.

b. or remove from disk?

This command will "physically" remove replica VM from virtual environment (unregister it and delete its files from datastore).
