To recreate pve data using 100GB of space: lvcreate -L 100GB -n data pve

You can find how much space is free with vgdisplay (under "FREE PE / Size")

Note that you might need to decrease the size by a tiny bit from what is listed there, due to rounding. For example, on my server, vgdisplay showed 267.79 GB free, but I had to use 267.78 GB for lvcreate.

I found this document that helped me loads.
The main problem was that LV data took up all the space.
