Hello, I had to restore my postgres DB today because I made some mistake. Luckily restoring was easy. However, I now see these orphan volumes... and not sure what I should do?
What is the difference between Wipe Volume vs Delete Volume ?
I assume I no longer need those 2 orphan volumes... should I "Delete" those?

Hello,
Those orphan volumes are: 1. the original volume, and 2. another previously restored volume. You can tell this since one has the original name and one has a timestamp.
Wipe Volume: Wipes the contents of the volume, like formatting a hard drive.
Delete volume: Removes the volume from your project canvas, like throwing the hard drive in the e-waste bin.
If you are good with the data that is in the volume that is currently mounted to your database, then you can delete those orphan volumes.
Best,
Brody
