You can delete a file system at any time. After a file system has been deleted, the free space is restored to its storage pool.
Important:
- After a file system has been deleted, it can still be undeleted if it is still in the recycle bin.
- Freed chunks move to a vacated-chunks-list. See the CLI man pages for details.
- Vacated chunks are reused when you create or expand other storage pools.
- You must be either a Global Admin or Storage Admin, and must have Advanced Mode enabled to delete a file system. For more information, refer to the Storage System User Administration Guide.
- Navigate to to display a list of all file systems.
- For the file system to be deleted, click details.
- If the file system is mounted click unmount and click OK. If the file system is unmounted, skip this step.
- In the Actions section, click delete and click OK.
