Windows 10: Can't remove storage spaces drive

Something happened to one of the drives on my storage spaces pool. I can no longer see the files, so I tried to remove the storage space. This operation fails with the error: "The disk structure is corrupted an unreadable". There are also similar NTFS errors in the event log.

How can I force the removal of this storage space?

XBOX Play Anywhere - install on secoundary storage drive blocked?

Sorry can't mark this as the Answer but for any one else having this issue you can not install XBOX Play Anywhere games on the Hard Drives that are created using "storage spaces".

I removed one of my Hard Drives from Storage spaces and set it up as a dedicated Windows Store app install location and it downloaded and install perfected ok.

Type storage spaces in the Search box, look for a panel that says "Select drives to create a storage pool", there may be a place on that one to Take offline.

 

Got this figured out. I ran mmc to open up disk management and then performed a "slow" format on the drive. It was configured as a 50T storage space and took overnight to get to 1%. On a hunch I figured this got some of the file system metadata in shape, so I cancelled the full format and ran a quick format. That worked and I had a non corrupted drive. After that I was able to remove the storage space.
