This is in reference to the following VMware kb article:
So what commands or gui options are available to delete orphaned virtual volume objects?
vSphere shows the virtual volume as empty but a used space of 53GB out of 1TB. The equallogic gui shows multiple VMs with 0 Mb in size associated with the storage container. Attempts to delete from gui and ssh results in the following error "Storage Container must be empty to be deleted". The storage container is also showing that it has snapshot and linked clones that I cannot access.
