volume_in_use

This volume is mounted on a service, so it can't be deleted.

What this means​

A service still has the volume mounted.

How to fix it​

Unmount the volume from every service, then delete it.

Retry behavior​

Retry after the volume has been unmounted.

How it appears in the response​
