12.4.4. Deleting a Storage Pool Using virsh

The following demonstrates how to delete a storage pool using virsh:

To avoid any issues with other guests 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
```
Optionally, if you want to remove the directory where the storage pool resides use the following command:
```
# virsh pool-delete guest_images_disk
```
Remove the storage pool's definition
```
# virsh pool-undefine guest_images_disk
```
