 +===== Actual Repository Does Not Allow Volume Deletes =====

 +The error ''Actual Repository does not allow volume delete'' indicates that the ''[[options:repository:allow_deletes|Repository Option Allow deletes]]'' is set to false.  This option is set to false by default to limit the ability of accidental deletion of [[object:volume|Volumes]].

 + 
 +To enable [[object:volume|Volumes]] deletion: 
 +  * Right click required [[object:repository|Repository]] and select ''Properties'' or double-click repository. 
 +  * Select ''Options'' tab.
