PVE fails to fully utilize hard disk space

I can see in pve that the total hard disk space is 256GB, but the sum of local and local-lvm space is not the full hard disk space.

Is the 60GB space in /dev/nvme0n1p3 the space occupied by the entire Proxmox VE system? If so, how to allocate the remaining space to the Proxmox VE system?
This is the capacity of local and local-lvm space.

How to adjust the capacity of these two spaces?
 
Make sure your VMs and LXCs are backed up to separate media

Reinstall proxmox, and use the Advanced options to reallocate the disk space

Trying to rejig things with LVM resizing is going to be a pain, and you can't resize lvm-thin anyways

1. Yes, I made a mistake during installation, which led to PVE not fully using the hard disk space. I have reinstalled it. The problem has been solved.
2. Why can't I adjust the space allocation between local-lvm and local?

Local-lvm is the lvm-thin, which cannot be resized. If SSD and you have extra space on the disk, you can resize "local" which is root ( / ) but long-term you're better off just reinstalling with the right settings

OK, so how do I resize the local partition? Increasing the size of the local partition will reduce the capacity of the local-lvm partition accordingly.
