How to resize the local (directory)

[SimPos]

Hello, I will try to translate my question

I have 1 disk, this disk has 40GB (There is no other disk), it was formatted and inserted ProxMox all default

By default, ProxMox defined:
local (Directory) 19.19GB for Backups/ISO
local-lvm (LVM-Thin) 12.29GB for VM

In this situation for me it is more useful to have more directory volume than local-lvm

I would like to add more volume in local (Directory), so how can I increase the 19.19GB storage of local (Directory) in this scenario?

Regarding this situation, if I delete this directory and create it again, the same amount of volume is inserted

I looked for something in ProxMox to edit volume, but apparently I didn't find it

Volumes like you have are managed by LVM. In your setup with so little space, it may be easier to handle to just have everything in one storage / filesystem so that you will not have the situation that you have enough space, yet not on the storage you need.

You can try to move your VM from local-lvm to local if you set local to also accept disk images. After moving all VMs, you can then delete local-thin. Please have a backup ready if something goes wrong.
