# Remove a storage pool

When a storage pool is removed, it is no longer managed by the appliance. In the storage system, the storage pool is moved from the `managedPools` collection to the `unmanagedPools` collection.

### Prerequisites

- Minimum required session ID privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Storage administrator

- The storage pool does not contain storage volumes or storage volume templates

Removing a storage pool using REST APIs
1. Select a storage pool URI. `GET /rest/storage-pools`
   | NOTE: To select a storage pool URI from a specific storage system, you can perform a `GET` operation using `/rest/storage-systems/`{id}`` and select a storage pool URI from the `managedPools` collection.
Delete the storage pool. `DELETE /rest/storage-pools/`{id}``
