Caution
Deleting a volume deletes the volume directory and all data on the volume.
Volumes must be unmapped from hosts before being deleted. You can choose to force unmap when you delete a single volume.
Deleting a Volume from the VAST Web UI
Right-click the volume and select Remove.
Caution
Do not use the Remove option to delete a snapshot volume. Deleting a snapshot volume deletes the source volume and all of its data. Instead, to delete a snapshot volume, unmap it from any mapped hosts. This automatically deletes a snapshot volume.
If you want to force the deletion even if the volume is mapped to hosts, enable the Force slider.
Note
There is no force option for bulk volume deletion. You must unmap hosts from volumes before bulk deleting them.
Click Delete Volume.
Deleting a Snapshot Volume
To delete a snapshot volume, unmap the volume from any mapped hosts. When you unmap hosts from a snapshot volume, the snapshot volume is automatically deleted without the volume itself, if it still exists, being deleted.
Caution
Do not use the Remove option to delete a snapshot volume. Deleting a snapshot volume deletes the source volume and all of its data.
Deleting a Volume from the VAST CLI
Use the volume delete command.
