disabling/uninstalling Jails since they're no longer in use - to free space

I've used Jails somewhat extensively but have recently moved away from using them entirely. This leaves me with this 'iocage' filesystem taking up space.

Can I just delete the filesystem? Should I somehow disable jails functionality before doing that?

I see this selector:
TrueNAS_-_192_168_90_3.jpg


But nowhere do I see some setting that matches the size of the 'iocage' filesystem - so not sure if there are controls to alter/disable that.
It's been year since I originally set this up. Thanks!

Are you not using jails at all any more? If not, then yes, you can delete the iocage dataset. If you later want to use them again, you'll (again) be asked to choose a pool for that dataset and it will be created.

Yes, not using any jails anymore. Just want to make sure deleting the entire iocage filesystem doesn't have some weird side effects.
