Mohd,

deleting arrays can only be done from the last one configured down to the first one, so in your case the last one added needs to be deleted first before you can delete previous ones.


If you are running Windows i.e. then the Netraid Assistant which is a graphical utility will make this very easy for you.
Select the array/logical drive you want to delete and right click it with the mouse and you will be able do delete it.

The Netraid assistant can be downloaded from here:

If you don't have Windwos running and don't have the s/w to manage the Netraid via the Netraid Assistant at the OS level then in the Express Tools (CTRL M utility) you can also delete the array/logical drive).
