12.2.4. Deleting a Storage Pool Using virsh

  1. To avoid any issues with other guest virtual machines using the same pool, it is best to stop the storage pool and release any resources in use by it. 
    # virsh pool-destroy guest_images_disk
    Copy to Clipboard
  2. Optionally, if you want to remove the directory where the storage pool resides use the following command: 
    # virsh pool-delete guest_images_disk
    Copy to Clipboard
  3. Remove the storage pool's definition 
    # virsh pool-undefine guest_images_disk
    Copy to Clipboard
