# 11.8. Removing a logical volume

A logical volume must be closed before it can be removed:

    # umount /dev/myvg/homevol
    # lvremove /dev/myvg/homevol
    lvremove -- do you really want to remove "/dev/myvg/homevol"? [y/n]: y
    lvremove -- doing automatic backup of volume group "myvg"
    lvremove -- logical volume "/dev/myvg/homevol" successfully removed
