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
Step 1. Select the volume to be deleted.
Step 2. Choose Actions > Delete Volume.
Step 3. Respond Yes when the Confirm deletion dialog appears.
NOTE
• 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.
