VDS_E_VOLUME_HAS_PATH
VDS_E_VOLUME_HAS_PATH indicates that a volume operation requires removal of its access paths first. A volume can have a drive letter and multiple mounted-folder paths; checking only the visible drive letter is therefore insufficient.
Remove every access path deliberately
- Enumerate all paths with
QueryAccessPaths. - Delete each drive-letter or mounted-folder path through
DeleteAccessPath. - Re-query after deletion because open handles can postpone actual removal until restart.
Do not confuse an access path with the volume GUID path used for identity. Also avoid deleting paths while applications are actively using the volume without an explicit availability plan. If the operation must be automated, report the exact remaining path and whether it is still active or pending removal.
