Hi,
On a test PBS 2.0.4 server on a dedicated disk (sdb, unused otherwise) I first created a directory "datastorage1" on sdb via administration/storage/directory/create directory, unchecking "Add as datastore" (since I did not want to create one immediately).
Then I changed my mind and wanted to name the directory "testdatastorage1", so I wiped the disk (wipefs -a /dev/sdb) and restarted but the old one remained in the UI in the directory listing.
When I rebooted the PBS server it took a long time to boot. After checking the logs it was trying/waiting to mount the old directory (with UUID) and failed.
I could not find in the UI nor in proxmox-backup-manager a way to remove the old directory so I did it at the systemctl level:
Then boot was normal and UI too.
Did I miss a "proper" way to remove a directory once created? (UI or command line)
