About this task
You can delete a storage area under the following conditions:
- The storage area is not the default storage area for a class
- The storage area is not assigned to the default storage policy
for a class
The entry for a deleted storage area is
automatically removed from the object store. The deleted storage area
is no longer available. However, the directories and files for the
storage area are not automatically deleted. These directories and
files can be manually deleted.
Important: Deleting
a storage area is an irreversible operation. Specifically, the deletion
breaks the association between the content in the storage area and
objects that own that content (such as documents and annotations).
The content in the deleted storage area becomes irreversibly inaccessible.
Consequently, before deleting the storage area, copy, back up, or
move the content of the storage area. For information about how to
restore a deleted file storage area or recover damaged files, see
Partial recovery options.
