NAME
       vgremove — remove a volume group

SYNOPSIS
       vgremove [--commandprofile ProfileName] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-h|-?|--help] [--noude‐
       vsync] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName [VolumeGroupName...]

DESCRIPTION
       vgremove allows you to remove one or more volume groups.  If one or more physical  volumes
       in  the  volume group are lost, consider vgreduce --removemissing to make the volume group
       metadata consistent again.

       If there are logical volumes that exist in the volume group, a prompt  will  be  given  to
       confirm removal.  You can override the prompt with -f.

OPTIONS
       See lvm(8) for common options.

       -f, --force
              Force the removal of any logical volumes on the volume group without confirmation.

       --noudevsync
              Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev.
              It will continue irrespective of any possible udev processing  in  the  background.
              You  should  only  use  this  if  udev  is not running or has rules that ignore the
              devices LVM2 creates.
