Click Finish.
You might need to delete a storage pool or a logical volume to create more free
space for other storage pools. When you delete a logical volume or a
traditional volume from a partition, that partition still owns the space, but you
can reassign the space to another storage pool or traditional file system
volume. When you delete a partition, ownership of the space in that partition
is removed.
After you delete a logical or traditional volume, free space becomes available.
You can assign this space to other storage pools to increase their size. You can
also use the free space (if you removed NSS ownership) for a traditional file
system volume. If necessary, you can restore a volume, see
Restoring Deleted Logical Volumes" on page

If you delete a volume, the file system removes it from the storage pool.
However, for a specified amount of time, called the Purge Delay time, you can
review and even restore the contents of the volume you deleted. For example,
you might want to restore information in a volume that was deleted in error.
You must retrieve the volume before the delay time elapses; otherwise, the
volume is removed from the system and you can no longer access it.
If you delete a storage pool, you delete all the volumes in that pool. You cannot
restore volumes.
The default setting for the Purge Delay time is two days. After this time
expires, NSS automatically purges the volume.You can change the Purge
Delay time to extend or reduce the time for the automatic purging cycle. See
