Proxmox: How to Remove directory

Use Proxmox UI (Recommend way)

• Go to Node > Directory
• select the directory to delete
• Click More > Destroy

• Confirm

If recommended way, It did not work. It shows errors like "Task Fail: Not A Valid Block Device

try to use cmd (God Mode)

Note: The directory mount file can be found in /etc/systemd/system (I test on Proxmox 8)

• find your directory mount, In My Case is name data2) so command should be

root@pve:~# ls -al /etc/systemd/system | grep data2
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  212 Nov  9 22:55 mnt-pve-data2.mount

• if your want to list you can use this command

root@pve:~# ls -al /etc/systemd/system | grep 'pve.*\.mount$'
-rw-r--r--  1 root root  212 Nov  9 22:55 mnt-pve-data2.mount

• the content of the file mnt-pve-data2.mount should be like this

root@pve:~# cat /etc/systemd/system/mnt-pve-data2.mount
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Mount]
Options=defaults
Type=ext4
What=/dev/disk/by-uuid/8e3fa4c8-dbee-4da5-bf06-7cb1f47fe708
Where=/mnt/pve/data2

[Unit]
Description=Mount storage 'data2' under /mnt/pve

• Remove the mount file with the command

rm /etc/systemd/system/mnt-pve-data2.mount

• After executing the remove command, check the Proxmox UI. The directory should be gone from UI.
