Deleting the mirror copy does not delete the LUN on disk - your 2nd copy of the data is safe. Deleting any part of the mirror definition does not delete data - it will just break the relationship and stop copying.
Note, you may want to time when you delete your mirror copy so your application data in the copy is consistent - best to do it when the source host is either shut down or at least the application is quiesced, and the mirror sync has copied from that time - easiest way to tell is that the latest copy has brought over 0 bytes of data.

Thanks for the replay .
I have one more question :
I have deleted the primary and secondary images from mirror . Mirror relationship name automatically removed form secondary but in the primary the Mirror relation ship are showing .
How can i remove this mirror relation ships ?
I tried to Force delete showing below message shall i proceed on this .?
Force Delete.If you press this button you will get a popup that says"
Warning: Halt I/O to the remote mirror primary LUN prior to deleting a remote mirror.
Force Delete will absolutely delete the selected remote image(s) regardless of whether:
1. The image is active.
2. The image has a secondary image.
This option should ONLY be used if the selected image CANNOT be deleted in the normal method!!!
