The PE's still belong to the volume group. Unless these PE's comprise one entire physical volume, allowing you to vgreduce that PV from the VG, there is no way to release the PE's.

It looks like the data in the VGDA does not match the number of LV device files in that VG.

Check http://www5.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000065011327 if you have the access to ITRC site.

check vgdisplay and see if any other logical volume has contents on this disk.
