The "definition" is the configuration. If you delete an inactive guest,
this is removing the configuration file on disk

The virt-manager UI already allows this. Select an inactive guest, and
press the 'Delete' button. It'll offer to delete associated disks, and only
selecting private disk images by default, but can be overriden to deleted
shared disk and CDROMs if desired.
I must have been blind! My only excuse is that I have not had my morning
coffee!
The delete function is there [why didn't I see it? ... I have no idea!].
The delete function does everything I want it to and even has the right set of
options!
Change this up to "pilot error". I am just thankful I did not bugzilla this!
