  community.general.proxmox_disk:
    api_host: "{{ pve_api_host }}"
    api_user: "{{ pve_api_user }}"
    api_password: "{{ pve_password | default(omit) }}"
    api_token_id: "{{ pve_api_token_id | default(omit) }}"
    api_token_secret: "{{ pve_api_token_secret | default(omit) }}"

- name: "Destroy Proxmox VM"
community.general.proxmox_kvm:
    api_host: "{{ pve_api_host }}"
    api_user: "{{ pve_api_user }}"
    api_password: "{{ pve_password | default(omit) }}"
    api_token_id: "{{ pve_api_token_id | default(omit) }}"
    api_token_secret: "{{ pve_api_token_secret | default(omit) }}"

Expected Results

I expected thatdetached VM disk stay preserved on the Proxmox storage as it happened when VM is removed by GUI.

Alternatively i excpect parameter to specify if detached disk will be destroyed or not.

See sumary filed

Actual Results

VM Disk is destroyed and can't be re-attached to re-created VM

After my various triees by the direct Proxmox REST api I have discoveredt that the RST API has same behavior. Then here is no way how to reach this. Closing as invalid
