Suresh,
you write you can not remove the lvol. When you run the lvremove what error message are you getting? I assume the lvol is not in use when you try to remove it.

what errore comes when you try to remove raw volume using lvremove ?

you can use -f option but this may not help much.

post the output of

#ll /dev/vg00
