There is no way to cleanup a volume in a "creating" or "deleting" state

[Andrea Frittoli]

It is not possible to remove a volume stuck in "creating" or "deleting" state.

$ nova volume-list
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------------------+--
| ID | Status | Display Name |
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------------------+--
| 138c1238-f038-4b72-85e4-1bc206618ca2 | creating | Volume-151905 | 1
+--------------------------------------+----------+--------------------+--
