LVM - can't find device

Hi Admin,

I had a test LVM volume that I used to get familiar with the 
concepts. I am now ready to create the volumes proper and so re-
created the RAID containers from scratch. I didn't destroy the old 
volumes and now I am getting lots of errors when I do 
{pv,vg,lv}display.

Is there some way I can remove all the old configuration? I have 
tried {lv,pv,vg}remove and I keep getting these type of errors:

  Couldn't find device with uuid 'wL5A4h-HlSu-Pabf-DulI-is2f-R8br-
ZjhjMV'.
  Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group Archive.
  Couldn't find device with uuid 'wL5A4h-HlSu-Pabf-DulI-is2f-R8br-
ZjhjMV'.
  Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group Archive.
  Volume group "Archive" not found


Contents of /etc/lvm:

./.cache
./archive
./archive/Archive_00000.vg
./backup
./backup/Archive
./lvm.conf

Can anyone offer some advice?
Thanx,
Dp.
