Deleting volumes and volume sets

Deleting volumes and volume sets

You use the same technique to delete all volumes, whether they’re simple, spanned, mirrored, striped, or RAID-5 (striped with parity). Deleting a volume set removes the associated file system, and all associated data is lost. Before you delete a volume set, you should back up any files and directories the volume set contains.

You can’t delete a volume that contains the system, boot, or active paging files for Windows Server 2012 R2.

To delete volumes, follow these steps:

1. In Disk Management, press and hold or right-click any volume in the set, and then tap or click Delete Volume. You can’t delete a portion of a spanned volume without deleting the entire volume.

2. Tap or click Yes to confirm that you want to delete the volume.
