[SOLVED] Cannot Remove image. Guest VM exists! HELP

[vanderlpp]

Hello everyone
some time ago I put a hd in my PVE to use as HD storage for the VMs, but I had a problem with it, and it seems that it was corrupted. I tried to move a hd from a VM that was there and it didn't allow it. what happened was that it created the file in the other storage location, but it couldn't delete the current one. then the VM continued using the current one. but PVE got both files, in two different places.

OK! I created a new HD for the VM, and within the OS in the VM, I moved the data, or what I could, to the new one. DONE.

I don't mind the previous HD file, which was working. what matters is that the file created on the other storage was created and assigned to the VM, and now it's not in the VM's config, and PVE won't let me delete it.

Hi,
you can either use pvesm free <volume ID> (double check to make sure you have the right one!) to free it directly or qm rescan --vmid 8001. With the second command, the disk should show up as an unused disk in the VM configuration and then you can remove it from there.

Is there a similar procedure for lxc? I have two left over volumes (named ‘vm-109-disk-0’ and ‘vm-109-disk-1’) from a failed restore. Meanwhile there is a working restore of that lxc with attached ‘vm-109-disk-2’ and ‘vm-109-disk-3’. I get the same error message as above trying to delete the volumes on the storage.

yes, there also is pct rescan --vmid 109
