Delete a Block Storage volume. Some conditions apply when deleting a volume:

• Deleting a volume can't be undone.

• Deleting stops billing for the volume. You'll be billed for the time the volume was active during the current billing period.

• You can't delete a volume that's attached to a Linode currently being migrated. You need to wait for the migration to complete.

• You can't delete a volume that has a cannot_delete or cannot_delete_with_subresources resource lock set for it.
