Description
The action is meant to allow user to remove a disk that can't finish blocks import for any reasons. What happens behind the scenes may be similar to a combination of bulk-write-stop and finalize actions. This may be more a need for the CLI because it obscures the need to manage the granular actions/states, to the extent that when the import fails to complete, user may not know what to do with a disk that is taking up space but cannot be deleted.
I've putting this as a post-MVP requirement and will document the disk state diagrams like the following in the user guide and augment them with instructions for handling disk deletion.

Research direction
Start with the existing bulk-write-stop and finalize actions, then review the disk-create and disk-use state diagrams linked in the issue. Determine how a failed import should be abandoned so the disk can be deleted, and whether the CLI should hide the granular state handling. Update the user guide with the resulting disk-deletion instructions.
