Remove but not Replace

[MattNeimeyer]

I currently have 4x3TB + 2x2TB drives in my Ultra 6 running 6.8.0 in a single X-Raid array.

I'd like to remove the 2x2TB drives, leaving the 4x3TB, and I have ample free space to support that but when I search on remove drive I can only find how to remove and then replace. Is this possible?

Thanks!

P.S. I labeled this "Adding Disk" because I assume the one would lead to the other?

You can't shrink an XRAID array.  To do what you want, you'll need to destroy the volume, which will delete all your data.  The simplest method is to remove the two disks and do a factory reset.
