Today i got the following error/warning when making a snapshot of my vm:

This got me worried, and after inspection i found that my lvm pool was almost full under UI > Disk> LVM
Lvm storage.PNG
I don't understand why it shows that the disk is almost full because i have not used any storage, this claim also gets backed up when i look at my disks:storage2.PNG.
For those wondering why i even created a volume group,
I had a choice (remaining root storage) between directory or LVM, I choose Lvm because it had the possibility for snapshots.

see my disk configuration:

Now the question,
How do i remove something from LVM, so it's not almost full. Or make it show the correct storage use.

This only means that so much of the disk capacity is assigned to LVM, not that it is already filled within LVM. See the LVM-Thin panel for usage information within the thin pool, or use lvs and look at the Data% column to see all the details.

Provisioning more space than available (what the warning is about) is not a problem in itself, but you should keep an eye on the actual usage within the pool, to not have it run full.

Hi ive got this issue also...spent hours researching it but cant find an answer that i understand.....one view is showing as 98% full and another view is showing 32% full.... of course i want to assign all of the disc to possible vm usage but, i the other view im only 32% which means ive got room but i cant rebuild my HomeAssistant vm....totally stuck at the moment!

please share the output of vgs and lvs. What exactly is the error you get when you try to create the volume for the new VM?
