+The purpose of this troubleshooter is to diagnose why volumes in TapeTrack cannot be deleted.
 To diagnose why you cannot delete volumes, select the error presented:
--> Security does not allow this operation
+===== Security Does Not Allow This Operation =====
-<-
+The error ''Security does not allow this operation'' indicates your [[object:user|User-ID]] does not have sufficient access rights to delete volumes from TapeTrack.
+To delete [[object:volume|Volumes]] from TapeTrack you will need to either:
+  * Have you Administrator [[master:user#Access|raise your access]] to include ''Alter'' rights.
+  * Have a user with ''Alter'' rights remove the [[object:volume|Volumes]] for you.
+===== 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]].
+<note tip>It is best practice to keep ''[[options:repository:allow_deletes|Repository Option Allow deletes]]'' set to ''False'' unless in the actual process of deleting [[object:volume|Volumes]].  This keeps a safeguard on accidental deletion during normal operation.</note>
+To enable [[object:volume|Volumes]] deletion:
+  * Right click required [[object:repository|Repository]] and select ''Properties'' or double-click repository.
+  * Select ''Options'' tab.
+  * Set ''[[options:repository:allow_deletes|Allow Deletes]]'' to ''True'' for the required [[object:repository|Repository]].
+  * Click ''Save'' to confirm alterations.
