each instance has an internal id so of you select id form instances where uuid=<vm uuid> it will tell you the id to use
or just change
update instances set deleted=1 where uuid="<vm-uuid>"
to
update instances set deleted=id where uuid="<vm-uuid>"
this is related to how soft delete works if i remember correctly
if deleted is not equal to id or 0 its soft deleted i think.
