It does:

if out=$(btrfs subvolume list "$lxc_path/$lxc_name/rootfs" 2>&1); then
         out=$(btrfs subvolume delete "$lxc_path/$lxc_name/rootfs" 2>&1) ||
                 echo "WARN: failed btrfs subvolume delete: $out"
fi
# recursively remove the container to remove old container configuration
rm -rf --preserve-root $lxc_path/$lxc_name


lxc_path=/var/lib/lxc is hardcoded (at least in Ubuntu).


If custom path is in use, then the container is not touched.
