The "Success" means that virFileRemove failed to set a proper errno. > At one end, it says "Success" but also reports error. > Lookng at the datastore, the VM file is not deleted. > > > > rrs@learner:~$ sudo ls /var/lib/libvirt/images/ -l > [sudo] password for rrs: > total 3768528 > -rw------- 1 root root 8591507456 Nov 4 13:32 debian8.qcow2 > 2015-11-04 / 13:43:10 ♒♒♒ ☺ Assuming your're using qemu:///system Can you provide a bit of config information: virsh pool-dumpxml default virsh vol-dumpxml --pool default debian8.qcow2 Can you also try to delete via vol-delete: virsh vol-delete --pool default debian8.qcow2 That should fail as well. If it does please do a: grep libvirtd /var/log/syslog journalctl -u libvirtd.service Cheers, -- Guido
