arch-linux partition system-installation lvm scientific-linux

                          I'm distro hopping from scientific Linux, but can't free any disk space.

    root@archiso~# lsblk
    NAME          TYPE
    sda           disk      
    |-sda1        part 
    |-sda2        part
      |-sl-swap   lvm
      |-sl-home   lvm
      |-sl-root   lvm

I've tried to reformat sda (dd, gparted ect) to no avail. I've also tried to use lvm tools to remove the volumes, no luck, The volumes don't seem to exist!

    root@archiso~# lvs -v
      No volume groups found.

    root@archiso~# vgscan -v
      No volume groups found.

    root@archiso~# lvmdiskscan
    ...
    1 disk
    5 partitions
    0 lvm physical volume whole disks
    0 lvm physical volumes
    
    root@archiso~# lvscan -v
      No volume groups found.
    
    root@archiso~# pvscan
      No matching physical volumes found
    
    root@archiso~# ls /dev/mapper
    control sl-home sl-root sl-swap

what on earth is going on?
