I am having problems deleting partitions in Proxmox

I have an 8TB SSD that shows 4 Harddrive partitions inside the SSD. I have used Fdisk, but the disk is not mounted and I cannot use Parted. I connected the SSD to a Windows PC and deleted the partition, but it still shows in Proxmox.

Can someone explain to me what's going on?

Hi!

At first glance it looks as if you have successfully deleted the partitions anyway!

The only SSD (a Samsung 870 QVO) doesn't seem to list any partitions (there's no /dev/sde$NUMBER, which would point at partitions -- /dev/sde is the device itself)[0].

Correct me if I'm wrong -- but you seem to have quite some storage devices built into your server (/dev/sd{a,b,c,d} -- each 8TB Seagate spinning disks)?

I already removed the disk from Proxmox, now I'm trying to fix the issue in windows but in Windows OS, it shows the same thing.
