Windows 10: Cannot access files in 2-disk storage pool after 1 hard disk failed

I previously setup a two-way mirror with 2 hard disks. 1 of them just failed and now I cannot access any files in the storage pool.

When I click on D drive, it says "D: is not accessible. The specified data could not be read from any of the copies". Is there any way to fix this? For example, reverting from the storage pool to just a normal disk drive?

How to remove external hard disk from storage pool on Windows 10

Hi Velen,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern about removing the external hard disk from storage pool, we will help you with this issue.

Try the below steps to: Remove a physical disk by using Windows PowerShell
and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows
  key from the keyboard, type Windows PowerShell and select
  Run as administrator.
  
• 
  Enter the command replacing <diskname> with the disk name:
  

• • 
    Set-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName <diskname> -Usage Retired
    

(If the pool is clustered, you will need to run this command on the cluster node which has the cluster resource for the pool online.)

3. Prior to performing step 5, you must wait for all active repair jobs to complete. To monitor the status of repair jobs, type the following command:
Get-StorageJob

4. Type the following command: Remove-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName <diskname>

5. Physically disconnect the old disk.

Unable to Remove a Failed Disk from Storage Spaces Virtual Disk Pool

I have a set of four disks in a Pool of my Storage Space. One of the Disks failed and can't start or run anymore; however, it is detected and marked as retired with 0.01% usage. Nevertheless, I added a new drive and the data is still okay, but I am unable
to remove the lingering failed disk and my Storage Space is always warning me to check it for a failed drive.



I tried using PowerShell to remove the Failed Disk, and also tried to Repair the Virtual Disks to no avail

Does any one know how to solve this issue?
