How to remove volume encrypted by FileValult

Hello,


I got an APFS encrypted volume on my mac, created for another user I got no access any more. When I try to remove this volume using Disc Utility, I get asked to login using apple id I don't own.


Is there any way to remove such a volume?


Thanks,

Hennadii
