Delete the local-lvm partition on a new installation on Proxmox

After a new installation, the main disk on which Proxmox is installed consists of two partitions.

local and local-lvm

By default, the virtual machines and containers will be stored on the local-lvm partition.

And on the local partition, the backups, templates, and iso files will be stored.

If you have a second disk or several in a raid, it may be useful to delete the local-lvm partition in order to allocate its space to the local partition to store more content (backups, iso, template, etc.).
