Proxmox Unresponsive due to Full Storage Space

[infinitegsltd]

Please can someone help me to resolve this, the storage space on some of my nodes are full and all efforts to delete some logs/ files in order to rectify and find a way to add more storage is not working, the deletion simply comes up with a notification saying "Cannot remove image, a guest with VMID '2104' exists! You can delete the image from the guest's hardware pane"

I will greatly appreciate any help in getting this resolved. Thank you.

Wouldn't it be best to delete the VM with ID 2104?

There are some contents I need on that and I am not sure If I will be able to restore after deletion. I tried migrating to another Node but it is not working which I find strange, I am looking to delete some ISO images and move some of the VMs to another Node but none of that is working at present as well...

Try via SSH. Find used space like this

du -shc /* | sort -h
# Go deeper
du -shc /bigdirectory/* | sort -h
# And so on...
du -shc /bigdirectory/.../* | sort -h

If you share some information about your storage I can give you more fitting commands. Let's start with

lsblk -o+FSTYPE,LABEL,MODEL
pvesm list local

This means that you are trying to delete a Virtual Disk/Image that matches the index ID of an existing VM. If you cannot see this disk in the VM hardware platform then you need to scan the disk in: qm disk rescan (man qm). Or, if you insist doing doing it manually, rename the disk to any other name and delete it.

Ok, thank you. I am looking for a way to resolve on the Proxmox dashboard level and Shell is not working on Proxmox due to this so I will have to explore an alternative way to get it resolved.
