Assuming that is the volume you want to remove, and the partition isn't mounted or being used by a domU, execute this command for each one that doesent belong.
lvremove /dev/qubes_dom0/vm-whonix-gw-15-root.tick

Thank you!
I removed 6 logical volumes (using sudo lvremove command; volumes from already deleted VMs/domains). However, sudo vgdisplay still shows 0 Free PE.

I removed a couple of other VMs but the Free PE is still 0.

In the Qubes UI (top right corner), clicking the disk icon, it shows 46.8% disk usage (it was over 50% before I removed these VMs).

I used sudo lvremove to delete 6 logical volumes (from already deleted VMs), but sudo vgdisplay still says 0 Free PE. Any more ideas? I'm gonna backup my data and delete more VMs in the meantime...

I removed one more large VM, now the UI says 34.4% disk usage, but vgdisplay still says 0 Free PE, so something else is going on.

It doesn't make any sense that you use lvremove and vgdisplay shows zero free. How are you deleting logical volumes? Do you have multiple PVs? Try pvdisplay and lvs

What is PV?

sudo lvs does not show the deleted LV/VMs. UI disk usage (top right corner) shows empty disk as well (the space got released).
I deleted the LVs using the command you adviced (sudo lvremove /dev/qubes_dom0/vm-whonix-gw-15-root.tick etc).
