    How to delete a drive that failed

    Good afternoon all, I had an NVMe drive in my proxmox system that died. I decided to just take it out. Unfortunately the LVM drive is still showing on the main dropdown and I'm not sure how to get rid of that. It's not causing a problem, but just bugs me. Any help would be most appreciated.
