Hi, i have seen a few close examples on this, but i do not think i have the same issue.
I have one Container, #150GB, and one "snapshot" .. when I do a "lvs" it shows me:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
data pve twi-aotz-- 168.93g 87.73 5.82

I desperately need to free up some room, it shouldnt be 88% full.. i dont know where/how to do this.
i have ran 'fstrim', it showed i removed 65GB on my host, and 18GB on my GUEST (container),
but the space for my

lvm-local (pve) still shows,
87.74% (148.22 GiB of 168.93 GiB)..

confusing. im sorry if this has (and i think it has been) already addressed, but i cannot see what more to try.

Thanks again!

hi,

what about lvremove?
 
oguz, ok so that did resolve my issue, i am now back to 68% Available.. THANKS!
I misunderstood the proper use of lvremove, (new to proxmox)..

Thank you.
:)

i needed to find the correct PATH (/dev/pve/****) is all.. Thanks so much. :)
