Delete a Vault

Deleting a vault permanently destroys the information related to the vault, including the SQL database and the file store.

When a vault is deleted in a multi-site environment, any scheduled replications with the vault are deleted as well. If the vault data had been replicated to other sites, the replicated data remains at the other sites. A dialog box is displayed indicating which other sites contain replicated data.

Note: A vault cannot be deleted if it is currently being replicated.

Access to the vault database is blocked during the delete operation. Data management clients cannot access the database until the operation is complete.

Caution: The Delete operation is not reversible. All information related to this vault is permanently removed, including all files associated with it.

When working in a Connected Workgroups (aka Full Replication/Database Replication) environment, the Delete operation is limited to the Publisher workgroup.
