A virtual volume can only be removed when its associated directory is empty. For directories that are not empty, virtual volume removal commands provide a --delete-contents option to empty the directories before removing them.
  • If the virtual volume is not empty, use the --delete-contents CLI option to remove its contents before removal:
    • virtual-volume remove [--delete-contents] <file-system> <name>
  • To remove all virtual volumes of a given file system, issue the following command. If some volumes are not-empty, use the --delete contents option:
    • virtual-volume removeall [--delete-contents] <file-system>

Refer to CLI man pages for more information.

You can delete an empty virtual volume in the NAS Manager.

  1. Navigate to Home > Storage Management > Virtual Volumes & Quotas.
  2. Select one or more virtual volumes.
  3. Click delete.

    A warning message displays asking for confirmation that this action is definitely required.

  4. Click OK.
