Hi,

we have create a vm with a 2 TB hdd. in first step we have create a 2tb qcow2 hdd. this doenst work for us. we have delete this and create a 2tb vmdk hdd. The qcow2 hdd wasn´t deleted in image dir. It´s a bug? normal the file must be deleted or?

regards
 
A deleted disk image will remain available until you remove the "Unused Disk" entry (in the webinterface) that appears when you remove the actual disk. This is a safeguard to prevent data loss from user errors.
 
this is right, but in webinterface i don´t foudn a entry to remove the not used hdd. Can you tell me the menu-point please? thanks

regards
 
All of this happens in the VM->Hardware menu where you can remove "Unused Disk"s the very same way you remove "Hard Disk (virtioX)"s.
 
Hi,

we have do it in VM->Hardware menu where you can remove "Unused Disk"s. But the file is not deleted. we must delete the file via ssh.

regards
