unable to parse volume filename | Removing unused drive

I'm unable to remove an unused drive

root@pve:~# pvesm list backup-HOT-WD1T Volid Format Type Size VMID backup-HOT-WD1T:102/vm-102-disk-0.qcow2 qcow2 images 107374182400 102

root@pve:~# pvesm free backup-HOT-WD1T:102/vm-102-disk-0 unable to parse volume filename 'vm-102-disk-0'

Please help, this drive is consuming >100G which I need

Its probably because you have 102 in the path. PVE is a bit picky in that area.
Just remove the file manually

How do I identify the path for the file?

what is the configuration of "backup-HOT-WD1T" storage? (cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg), its likely mounted under /mnt/pve/backup-HOT-WD1T/ and the file is probably in images subdirectory.

i think your problem is the wrong name, as you see in the list that proper image name is:
backup-HOT-WD1T:102/vm-102-disk-0.qcow2

so the command you need to delete it :
pvesm free backup-HOT-WD1T:102/vm-102-disk-0.qcow2
