Heya!

So I'm facing a bit of a weird problem right now, but long story short one of my move disk operations failed with an "Unexpected Error". Now there's a broken, unassigned disk in one of the storage pools that I can't delete since Proxmox says that there's still a VM ID with that number, but it's also not showing up as an Unused Disk so I could delete it there.

Is there any way to delete this disk properly? I checked the VM config and it's not even mentioned in there.


Thanks!
 
Okay nevermind... (as always) when you ask in a forum and THEN Google one more time you find the answer :)
Simply ran a "qm rescan" and that fixed it, now it shows up as Unused and can delete it!
