Anyone know how I can force-delete a volume without it entering the recovery queue?
If I try Remove-NcVol -force $true it still only moves the volume into the recovery queue. And I cannot purge the recovery queue easily either
Has anyone ever solved that problem?

It's in the REST API at least but unsure why PSTK does not allow it...

You could try Invoke-NcSystemApi but that's ZAPI

But the vol will still go to recovery queue even with -ZapiCall or -ONTAPI added... (you also need to offline the vol first)
Guess it's a bug 🐛 🎉

Try and figure out what Otv does. Maybe it’s a combination effort
- Delete volume
- Lookup new name (should have some numbers tacked on and is type DEL)
- Remove the volume from the recovery queue

the issue is that the recovery queue is not exposed to the PowerShell API, and it always runs in the background, so while I can trigger a recovery-queue purge command via CLI passthrough, I cannot wait until it's done

I don't think OTV is using PSTK but might be. Guess it's simply using the REST API manually.
