Recover space used by old volumes

I have 7 volumes on my Nibble.  4 of them have been offline for at least a couple of years but they are using several TB of space.  Is there a way to remove these unused volumes, recover the space, then add the space to one or more of my existing volumes?

Hello,

The only option is to delete the volumes to free up blocks, so that it will be added back to available free space.
