We start with the UUID of the stuck VM, replacing the text NameOfYourVM with the actual name of your VM:
xe vm-list | grep -B 1 NameOfYourVM
Copy the UUID, and paste it in the following command:
list_domains | grep UUIDOfYourVM
This will result in the domain identifier of your VM, which we use in the following command:
/opt/xensource/debug/destroy_domain -domid DomainIdOfYourVM
The final step involves rebooting the VM in a forceful way:
xe vm-reboot uuid=UUIDOfYourVM --force
