Unable to delete template, missing linked clone?

[Howard A2 Labs]

I'm trying to delete a template, and it returns the error:

ASK ERROR: base volume 'storage:base-100-disk-0' is still in use by linked cloned

My typical method for finding linked clones using a template's storage is to run:

grep -r base-100 /etc/pve/nodes/*/qemu-server

However in this case that returns only the template itself.

Is there a way to find out why Proxmox seems to think there's a linked clone of this template when there does not appear to be one?

When deleting VMs sometimes disks stay behind. Look for one that isn't assigned to any VM.

EDIT: I have a simple python script that you might be able to adapt

Hi @Howard A2 Labs ,
Perhaps if you provide your VM and Storage configuration and state, that may help others to zoom in on the issue.
qm config [vmid]
pvesm status
pvesm list [storage]
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg

Depending on the storage type, equivalent of :
lsblk
lvs
pvs
vgs
etc
