Deleting a vault permanently removes the vault database and archives.
To delete a vault from the server:
- Log in to the Administration tool as a user with vault management permissions.
- Right-click the vault and select Remove.
- If you are prompted to authenticate to the archive server, log in as a Windows user with administrative access.
- At the prompt asking whether to remove the vault, click Yes.
You cannot undo this step. Ensure that you have backed up the vault database and archive before removing the vault.
- If a Logged in users dialog box appears, ensure that all users listed are logged off, then click Retry.
The vault database and archives are deleted.
- If a dialog box appears listing current database connections, click Yes to disconnect those processes.
- Local vault views are removed. At the prompt, decide whether to keep or delete local view contents.
