Detached Hard-disk, but no remove option?

[acecombatps2]

As the title states. I am working on a proxmox to remove a disk from one of the VM's on my node, but I only have a detach function.
Currently the disks list from disk(1),disk(2),disk(3),disk(5). I apologize if this question has already been asked or if this is the wrong place to ask it. Thank you to anyone willing to answer the question, I appreciate all that you guys do.

Hi,
in order to remove a disk attached to a VM, you will have to first detach it. Once the disk is detached, it will show up in the Hardware tab as unused disk. By clicking on it, you will have the button to remove it.

What happens to the removed storage? Is it added back to proxmox seamlessly or is the space orphaned?

The disk will be freed from the underlying storage, making the storage space available again.
