Adding and removing storage

[dpearceFL]

Using PVE 6.2

I come from a VMware world where everything is done via the GUI and doing things from the command line is generally discouraged. However from what I have learned from testing PVE on my home lab, I am genuinely excited.

Can someone confirm for me these general statements about storage and PVE:
* You can add storage via the GUI or the command line.
* You can only delete storage from the command line.

I see this as an advantage most of the time.

Thanks.

Welcome to Proxmox World

* You can add storage via the GUI or the command line.

Yes

* You can only delete storage from the command line.

Sure

More things if you want, you can through GUI or CLI and API as well

So if I add storage to a PVE server, you can not delete it from the GUI? I'm not afraid of the command line; I just want to make sure I'm not missing something in the GUI.

Just to be clear, NO, PVE Storage can be ADDed and REMOVEd via the GUI [0], CLI [1], or API [2]. "Removing" storage does not "delete" data (but can make it difficult to find ;-) ).

@RokaKen True, thank you for clarifying that

I have a problem.
Removing the storage, in my case via WebGUI, if it tries to recreate a new storage with the previous name it gives an error.
Also in / mnt / pve / there remains a folder with the name.

Are there any further steps to complete elimination?

If that folder is empty you can delete it so PVE doesn'T complain anymore that the mointpoint already exists.
