Hi all. POsting question here since I haven't found any post or page answering to my problem.

I'm still figuring things out with Proxmox, and have been messing around (probably a tad too recklessly) with my storage options.

I created an LVM with one of my HDDs (/dev/sdd in my case), but decided later on to delete that LVM, and make that disk available to other storage options. I couldn't figure out how to delete that LVM directly in the GUI, so I used the vgremove command in the shell directly. This effectively removed the LVM associated to that disk in the LVM tab

However, in the Disks tab, the disk usage is still displaying 'LVM', and I can"t indeed use that disk anymore to create any kind of storage.

How can I definitely wipe that disk to its original state so I can use it again ?

Thanks !
 
it probably still has a pv on it so do a 'pvremove /dev/DISK' on the relevant disk
