# Deconfiguring Tape Storage

Deconfiguring a tape library deletes the library as a storage target and also disables the software communication between the MediaAgent and the device.

Note

The de-configure operation will fail in the following situations:

- If there are jobs currently running in the library. If necessary, wait for the jobs to complete or kill the jobs in the library.

- If media is mounted in the drives. If media is mounted, Unload the Media, before de-configuring the library.

## Procedure

1. From the Command Center navigation pane, go to Manage > Storage > Tape.

   The Tape page appears.

2. For the tape_storage for which you want to deconfigure the library, click the Actions button and click Deconfigure.

   The Confirm delete prompt appears.

3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
