NetApp HCI, Manual

The system does not immediately purge deleted volumes; they remain available for approximately eight hours.
After eight hours, they are purged and no longer available. If you restore a volume before the system purges it,
the volume comes back online and iSCSI connections are restored.
If a volume used to create a snapshot is deleted, its associated snapshots become inactive. When the deleted
source volumes are purged, the associated inactive snapshots are also removed from the system.

Persistent volumes that are associated with management services are created and assigned
to a new account during installation or upgrade. If you are using persistent volumes, do not
modify or delete the volumes or their associated account. If you do delete these volumes,
you could render your management node unusable.
