If this is primary pool volume, it is *highly* advisable not to do so!!!
By performing "delete volume" on a primary pool volume you are deleting
*all copies* of objects stored on the volume - primary, on-site and
off-site copypool.
When "restore volume" finishes with success, it will delete the volume
automatically. If "query content" shows some objects still residing on the
volume, the restore was not complete/successful.
While you still have some time (until you have copy of the database before
"del v" was done), you can check what data was deleted/lost.
Restore old DB on a test/DR server and look at "q cont xxxxx" output!!!
