Maybe the storage existed before and has been delete? Because the qcow2 file was in use, it still exists and will only be remove when you stop the VM. I don't know of a way to reach that file when the directory where it was located is already gone. Maybe there is a way to recover files in limbo on Linux?

It's not that VM is so important, just wanted to know how it is possible!
