AFAIU you continue using VMS at a HDD from a previous Proxmox installation, but only 3 VMs and the others you want to delete in order to get freee disk space?!


If so it is important to know which kind of storage you had used. In case of a directory it's simply sufficient to remove the virtual disks, e.g.

rm images/101/vm-101-disk-1.qcow2

In case of an lvm you have to run e.g.

lvremove pve/vm-101-disk-1

etc. In case of lvms be careful to not mix up old and new installation - you may have the vg "pve" twice. In that case rename the old vg before handling it.

Kujhim, this is a self service forum, maybe if you pay for a commercial license they would be willing to do the work for you.
