Delete Storage Locations


Only Retired and empty Storage Locations can be deleted.

1. Setup menu > Storage > Extensible Storage.

2. Highlight the retired storage location and click Delete.

NOTE: You cannot delete the Primary Storage Location because it contains the extensible storage links to the other Storage Locations. To delete it, you must retire it, move its data to other storage locations using the Restore Storage activity, then remove it as the Primary Storage Location (by altering the "Backup Root" value of the dssys.cfg file and the "dssystem" database). After restarting DS-System you will be able to delete this Storage Location. If you only have two Extensible Storage locations, this will likely be the case. For more information refer to the Knowledge Base article: "Retiring the DS-System Primary Storage Location (Backup Root)".

3. The Group value is changed to <DELETED> and this storage location will be removed from the Extensible Storage Locations list next time the DS-System restarts.
