SSH to server and use the below steps
Check active volume first using
[root@load ~]# lvscan
ACTIVE ‘/dev/vg_load/lv_root’ [50.00 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE ‘/dev/vg_load/lv_home’ [53.80 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE ‘/dev/vg_load/lv_swap’ [7.50 GiB] inherit
Say you want to remove the volume /dev/vg_load/lv_home
Type the below command
[root@load ~]# lvremove /dev/vg_load/lv_home
Do you really want to remove active logical volume lv_home? [y/n]: y
Logical volume “lv_home” successfully removed
Now the logical volume is deleted
which you can confirm using
[root@load ~]# lvscan
ACTIVE ‘/dev/vg_load/lv_root’ [50.00 GiB] inherit
ACTIVE ‘/dev/vg_load/lv_swap’ [7.50 GiB] inherit
[root@load ~]# lvdisplay
