HELP: I delete a VM but disk storage stay full (SOLVED)

[kaldhine]

Hello, i'm new on Proxmox and sorry for my english, i hope you understand my problem

I have a NVME 800GB and on this 3 VM (250GB each)

I need to delete one, and after deleting, don't recover 250GB, the NVME is FULL and i can't create new VM.


In French
POur les Français qui passerai par là:
J'ai un NVME de 800Go avec 3 Vm de 250Go chacun, j'ai du en supprimer un, mais ca n'a pas libéré l'espace disque et donc je ne peux en recrée un. Est-ce qu'il y'a une solution?

Merci

Hi,
what filesystem or storage is the disk used for (e.g. ext4/ZFS/LVM)? Please post your storage configuration /etc/pve/storage.cfg. You can run pvesm list <name of your storage> to list the images managed by Proxmox VE that are currently on it.

Hello
Volid Format Type Size VMID
NVME11:vm-200-disk-0 raw images 4194304 200
NVME11:vm-201-disk-0 raw images 246960619520 201
NVME11:vm-202-disk-0 raw images 246960619520 202
NVME11:vm-203-disk-0 raw images 246960619520 203
NVME11:vm-400-disk-0 raw images 59055800320 400
NVME11:vm-500-disk-0 raw images 107374182400 500

it's VM-203-DISK-0 the problem

it's VM-203-DISK-0 the problem

If there is no VM 203 anymore, you can just go to the storage in the UI and remove the image from there. Or you can do it with pvesm free <volume ID> (but please double check if you got the right one!).

Hello, I have solution (not the best i think)
I create a new VM with the same name on another disk storage (NVME21) and i delete it with the option "Destroy unreferenced disks owned by guest" and it's ok, disk space has been freed from the space occupied by the old VM203 on first DD (NVME11)

Thanks for you helping fiona
