Cannot remove directory from GUI.

[Lettuce]

Hello when I go to delete a old test directory so I can create a new one I get a error, "not a valid block device", Any solutions to destroying the directory? I tried manually removing the path using rm /etc/systemd/system/mnt/pve/WD-HDD and rm /mnt/pve/WD-HDD just to try it and both times I just got No such file or directory. Really stumped on this if anyone can provide guidance that would be appreciated.

Hi,
is the device not present on the system anymore? Can you try with the Cleanup Disks checkbox disabled? Then it shouldn't try to access the disk and just remove the systemd mount unit.
