The short answer is to issue the commands:
vgchange -a n /dev/HDSF1
vgexport /dev/HDSF1
Thanks to all who made suchlike suggestions, in particular
Steve Hamilton and Bill Hassell. The commands vgremove and
pvremove are - contrary to common logic - not to be used.
Bill also pointed me to rmsf for further device clean-up.
I'll pause on that one for the time being, at least until
the next reboot has revealed what residual garbage info is
thrown upon the screen.
Cheers

Emne: Removal of volumes long gone
Hi all,
Long ago I removed some disk volumes physically and from fstab.
Now I want to get rid of the obsolete rest.
Prior to pvremove I attempt vgremove, but get this error:
# vgremove /dev/HDSF1
vgremove: Volume group not activated.
#
I assume the text to indicate that the group exists ok in the /etc/lvmtab file.
So, how do I proceed to erase /dev/HDSF1?
