local-lvm usage without VMs

[noideawhatiamdoing]

Hi there,
First and foremost thank you for reading through and your help

I have been using Proxmox for a couple of months. Recently I deleted all VMs and CTs, however, I notice now that the local-lvm continues to have a significant amount of space (50% - some 4.5TBs) of space being used.

How do I clear that space to be used again?

Thank you!

What do the following show:
- pvesm status
- lvs
- vgs
- lsblk

Update: I "Destroyed" the Local-lvm using the GUI. However I am no longer able to create a new one

Well its a bit late to run those commands when you removed the pool.
The reason you cant create a new one is because there are no _free_ disks. The old one co-existed with your OS installation.
To re-create it you need to run through a few commands. A good start would be here:

However, not all steps apply. You already have the scaffolding up to volume group.
