I created an ISCSI and LVM for VMs but misspelled the LVM name So I deleted it and tried to recreate it with correct spelling but get the following Error Message:

create storage failed: device '/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-36589cfc000000aca113ed9386b8dcb80' is already used by volume group 'baldru_LVM' (500)

What do I need to do to delete the target? I do not have it in my storage.cfg.

/etc/pve/storage.cfg
root@pve-1:/etc/pve# cat storage.cfg

We do have a subscription and I click on the Help button to find information about lvm but I do not see how to delete a bad lvm in the notes. My Primary lvm is working with 1 freeNAS iSCSI and I am trying to create a second lvm to second freeNAS iSCSI so I can move VMs to it while I upgrade the primary FreeNAS.
 
I found the commands in shell but I do not see documentation on how to use these commands and not screw up my production server. I have 1 lvm group that is connected to multiple iSCSI drives and I need to remove the bad iSCSI from the group. Is there a file that shows the lvm groups attached to physical drives so I can edit it there?
