PVE Clean Orphaned LVM

This script helps Proxmox users identify and remove orphaned LVM volumes that are no longer associated with any VM or LXC container. It scans all LVM volumes, detects unused ones, and provides an interactive prompt to delete them safely. System-critical volumes like root, swap, and data are excluded to prevent accidental deletion.
