# Delete a storage volume

When a storage volume is deleted, it is removed from appliance management and deleted from the storage system resulting in loss of all data. If you want to remove the storage volume from appliance management without deleting data, set the export only header to true (`exportOnly:true`). The exported volume remains on the storage system and you can add it again to the appliance.
