Deleting the LXC container with the pct tool

Proxmox VE provides the pct command to assist with container actions. In this case, we will use this:

 This command where the number is the CT number assigned to it. Please refer to this:

man pct

For more detailed instructions.

If you get an error with this check the error output with this: 

cat /etc/pve/lxc/107.conf
