LVM I've decided to just live with it. The alternative is a system
reinstall.
You were in the lucky position of having LVM, which makes this kind of
"move to new disk" operations trivial. Doing a disk clone was
exactly the wrong way to do it, you've

The easiest way to move an vg to a new device is partitioning the new
device, create a pv on the correct device, and then add that device to
the vg and then do a pvmove to move the data to the new device. Once
done you remove the device from the vg.
cloning the boot can be done with dd, but if yo

do "dmsetup table" and see if there is a mapping to the device you
want to get rid of.
If there is no mapping you may be able to exclude the device with a
filter in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf or you may have to used the really
dangerous commands to clear the data of the disk.
Doing just about anything is

I'd already looked at those.
lvremove takes an LV identifier as argument, but sinc

I'm in the process of trying to clone an existing drive to a new SSD.
The existing drive was created by a fresh F31 install, which used LVM
for root and swap. I normally turn this off when installing but didn't
this time, either because it's not possible or because I couldn't find
the magic button.
