Hi, I was getting the "status io" error on a basic test server (Proxmox 6.2-4) and so removed a couple of VMs (and ticked purge) thinking this would free up space. I now know it doesn't and I can't see how (if?) to do it. Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Hi, deleting and purging VMs should free up space on local-lvm. Are you sure the "status io" issue isn't due to your "local" drive being full?
Could you post the output oflvs and df -h?
 
Thanks, you were right! Apologies, I'm a proxmox newbie so still feeling my way.
