1. Identifying Unused Volumes

Check Volume Usage: Use the command volume show -fields volume, status, size, used to view the status and usage of all volumes.

Verify Mount Status: Use volume show -vserver <vserver_name> to check if volumes are mounted. Unmounted volumes may still be in use, so further investigation might be needed.

Review Activity Logs: Check system logs for any records related to unused volumes using the command event log show.

2. Cleaning Up Unused Volumes

Verify Volume Usage: Ensure that the volume is no longer needed or in use by any applications or services.

Backup Data: If there’s any chance the volume contains important data, back it up before deletion.

Delete the Volume:

Use the command volume delete -volume <volume_name> to delete the volume.

Use the -force option if needed, but do so with caution to avoid accidental data loss.

3. Post-Cleanup Checks

Verify Deletion: Use volume show to confirm that the volume has been successfully deleted.

Monitor System: After deleting the volume, monitor the system for any performance issues or unexpected behavior to ensure no critical components were affected.
