Delete volume name, mount point (in UI) when no longer in use?
-
Hello all,
Happy New year to you all. My Cloudron instance has been humming away nicely so no questions from me. Til now.

I have a question question/possibly request.
Objective
Revert app data directory from external volume, back to default.Steps
- go to app page
- go to storage heading in app page
- in Data Directory section, in drop down change from the current external volume to default.
- click move data
- click save
Expected behaviour
Cloudron:- moves app data directory from previous external volume
- in UI, deletes reference to volume name and mount point in Volumes section
Actual behaviour
Cloudron:- moves app data directory from previous external volume
- reference to volume name and mount point in Volumes section still present
Actual behaviour successfully achieves my objective. To confirm - in command line the data directories are deleted.
Questions
Should Cloudron delete the references in the Volumes section if it's not being used anywhere else? For "house keeping"?Right now, I assume I can delete the reference since it's not being used?
Thanks.

Another way might be to clone the app to another subdomain or do the shuffle by changing the original name first so the destination clone is the desired one.

That seems like more work than necessary. Also assumes the existence of/want for another subdomain, no?

I don't follow. I expected the GUI to show what was in the commandline - that the data directories are deleted.

Can you post a screenshot of this? Are you referring to the Volumes view i.e the view where you add/remove volumes ? FWIW, what you said in
Expected behavioursection is what is supposed to happen. I checked quickly and it does happen that way but not clear what you mean by Volumes section still present. -
