# Delete a Storage Spaces Direct storage pool and reset the physical disks
1616

17-
This article uses an example Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) deployment to explain how to gracefully delete an S2D storage pool. This process cleans S2D information from the disks that the storage pool aggregates so that you can reuse the disks elsewhere. If you use a different approach to remove disks from a storage pool, both the disks and the storage pool might enter an unusable state. For more information about these issues and related events, see [More information](#more-information).

When you remove disks from a storage pool incorrectly, both the disks and the storage pool can enter an unusable state. This article provides a step-by-step procedure to gracefully delete an S2D storage pool and clean the disks so that you can reuse them in a different configuration. For more information about these issues and related events, see [More information](#more-information).
