===== Deleting a Repository =====

Before you can delete the Repository, move all [[object:volume|Volumes]] from the Repository and Confirm into another location.  Any [[object:volume|Volumes]] in a move to the [[object:repository|Repository]] will be placed in a move to the Initial [[object:repository|Repository]]. 

To delete a [[object:repository|Repository]], right-click on the [[object:repository|Repository]] that needs to be deleted and select ''Delete''. 

If the [[object:repository|Repository]] you are attempting to delete is the current Default Repository, you will receive a popup confirming you want to reset the Default value, click ''Yes'' to continue.

Click ''Yes'' to the ''Confirm Delete'' popup.

In older releases, any [[object:repository|Repository]] set as the default (where [[object:volume|Volumes]] are added to when a Target [[object:repository|Repository]] is not specified) cannot be deleted until the dependancy is removed.  

To remove the default setting, right-click the [[object:media|Media Type]] in the [[master:customer_tree|Customer Tree]] and select ''Properties''.

On the ''Options'' tab, change the setting ''Default Repository'' to ''<No Selection>'', or another [[object:repository|Repository]], and click ''Save''.
