I attached part of a zfs pool to a VM, then removed it later via the detach function in the GUI.

However, the space that was used from the pool is not free.

>> lsblk
zd16 230:16 0 15.6T 0 disk

I thought of using fdisk d to remove it, but:

>>fdisk /dev/zd16

Device does not contain a recognized partition table.
The size of this disk is 15.6 TiB ( bytes). DOS partition table format cannot be used on drives for volumes larger than 2199023255040 bytes for 512-byte sectors. Use GUID partition table format (GPT).

Created a new DOS (MBR) disklabel with disk identifier 0x9fb2b07c.

How do I get the space back?

I have restarted the system...etc.
 
Nevermind, it is now under unused disk 0 at the bottom, click remove to remove it.
