Hi
I don't have a ton of Linux experience but I want to learn, and obviously I'm trying to learn more about ProxMox/ESXI.

So first up, I made a disk a LVM disk a few weeks ago,. but I botched the setup, so redid everything. But the disk still shows up on the leftbar underneath my node. It has a question make next to the disk since it doesn't exist anymore. How do I remove it so it doesn't show up anymore? Second, I would like to rename and expand the size of a directory I made. I made the directory 5TB big, but I need more space for it. I have the directory setup so that one of my VM's has access to it, and I can access the directory over SSH. I saw online that a bunch of people are saying you can't rename directories, but that was a while ago, and I was wondering if things have changed shagle.

If my question isn't clear or you need more information, I'd be happy to expand on my problem azar. I appreciate all help.

Did you remove it as a storage (WebUI: Datacenter -> Storage -> YourOldLvmStorage -> Remove)?

Do you really mean a directory or maybe a storage of type "Directory" or maybe a LVMs LV?
