Removing Object Storage Repository

You can remove any object storage repository from the application scope if you no longer need it.

Consider the following:

• An object storage repository cannot be removed if it is part of a scale-out backup repository.

To remove such a repository, you must first exclude an object storage repository from the scale-out backup repository configuration. For more information, see Removing Performance Extents from Scale-Out Repositories and Excluding Capacity Tier from Scale-Out Repositories.

• An object storage repository cannot be removed if backups located in this repository was imported, as described in Importing Backups.

To remove such a repository, you must first detach object storage, as described in Detaching Object Storage.

• When an object storage repository is being removed from the environment, the data remains completely unaffected.

To learn how to remove data, see Removing Backups from Object Storage Repository.

1. Open the Backup Infrastructure view.
2. In the inventory pane, select Backup Repositories.
3. In the working area, select an object storage repository and click Remove Repository on the ribbon or right-click an object storage repository and select Remove.
