Multiple HDD HTS Data Files

For some reason, I have multiple HDD HTS Data Files. I assume I should only have one.

How do I identify which is the right one and get rid of the others?


Thanks.

You reinstalled over your Data Volume, so the base name became APPLE HDD HTS - Data and the new Data volume became APPLE HDD HTS - Data - Data.

The top APPLE HDD HTS is the original startup volume. You can select the Volume group, APPLE HDD HTS volumes, and click the Remove Volume button.

Then, Rename APPLE HDD HTS - Data to something else (perhaps just remove - Data). It should rename the Data volume to match.
