Deleting a Volume

Caution Deleting a volume can result in data loss.

This procedure permanently removes a volume and all of its data. You should only

remove a volume if you are sure that you do not need the data in the volume (or the data

is backed up elsewhere). You can remove a volume to make the underlying disk space

available for use elsewhere.

▼ To delete a volume

1. Select the volume to be deleted.

2. Choose Actions > Delete Volume.

3. Respond Yes when the Conﬁrm deletion dialog appears.

Notes:

- Removing a volume destroys all of the data in that volume.

- When a volume is removed, the space it occupied is returned to the free space pool.
