Description

In the documentation about how to delete the persistent volume (https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/delete/index.en.html), we should had a paragraph which say you have to launch a session with the persistence disabled to remove it. This also applies for https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/change_passphrase/index.en.html

Sorry for the huge delay. I took it easy with tech writing since the beginning of 2017 but I will have more time to dedicate to it now.

I improved a bit on your work with d5e0a8fb1a..d7a1fffe9b. Please have a look and tell me what you think.
