Proxmox VE 7 - Cannot remove a CT (2 now actually) with error 'Failed to find logical volume "LXCs/vm-104-disk-0"'

[bmcgonag]

I now have 2 CTs that I want to remove, but have gotten this error on. I'm not sure why I'm getting it.

1. I had VM 103 (LXC container) on a SSD Logical Volume called "CTs". I got this error, and through a bunch of forum threads, just got nowhere, and ended up trying to simply remove the CT and re-creating a new Logical Volume from the disk called "LXCs". Now the same thing is happening to my CT 104, as noted in the error in the title.

I want to remove these Containers, but for some reason it just doesn't work.

I create the container, do some stuff, then shutdown the container, and try to remove through the UI. Fill out the VM ID, check the 2 boxes, and click 'Remove' on the modal, but then get this error.

For 103:
`TASK ERROR: storage 'CTs' does not exist`

Which I know, because I deleted that Logical Volume, so no idea why it just won't get rid of 103.

For 104:
`TASK ERROR: can't activate LV 'LXCs/vm-104-disk-0' to zero-out its data: Failed to find logical volume "LXCs/vm-104-disk-0"`

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here is result of `pvscan`

```
pvscan
PV /dev/sdj VG LXCs lvm2 [<465.76 GiB / <465.76 GiB free]
PV /dev/sde VG VM_Clones lvm2 [<745.22 GiB / <745.22 GiB free]

```

Let me know what other information might help.

Hi,

Is the LXCs storage still mounted? if no - just remove the config file for 104 /etc/pve/lxc/104.conf. If the LXCs storage mounted can you check if the vm-104-disk-0 is in?
