Hi guys,
I am new here and need your help.

I created a VM and wanted to shrink the disc afterwards. Unfortunately I only made it bigger via GUI. So I wanted to unmount it to delete it which now turns out to be a mistake. Now I can't find the folder and the whole subdirectory.

I already tried to find something via ls but without success. With lsblk I can look at all disks but unfortunately exactly this one disk of my VM is missing.
Does anyone know how I can find and delete this "missing" disk so I can get free space again? I also have only 93% free memory left, so I'm running low.

I hope you can support me :)
 
Most of the time (ZFS/LVM-thin) you virtual disks are no files but block devices so you can't browse a folder to delete them. In that case you need to use the right commands in CLI to delete it (like lvremove or zfs destroy).

Okay, I see. But how can I find it?
The other virtual disks are identified with vm id‘s but the id 171 is missing.
