I run into this problem that feels a bit weird, lets say I created a VM with id 200 windows server, I delete and purge the VM id 200. Now everytime i try to create a any other VM with that ID linux or any other operating system, the old VM windows server just comes back to life? and when i run the commands on cli to check if was really deleted and it was really deleted. Did this happened with anyone else ?
 
This depends on the settings of your storage. Some storage types need specifically to be set to wipe the contents.

Please share what you currently use.

My setup at the moment is two servers Lenovo SR630 V3 + 1QDevice and a Storage Huawei Dorado 2000.

I created a LUN on the storage and mapped the LUN in proxmox with multipath since I am using FC. Everything else seems to be working fine except for this one detail.
 
I just found out the solutions on datacenter > storage, needed to select the wipefs option. it was slow to erase but then I found a command on the forum to speed up the process

pvesm set volumename --saferemove_throughput 1048576000


This seems to make everything work. if there is any cons about this solutions please warn me, thank you
