Deleting a Backup Location Without Backup Data

You can delete a backup location that does not contain backup data. If you shared the backup location with a MediaAgent that is online with write access, then the delete operation deletes the backup location from the CommServe database and the backup location folders from the physical storage. Otherwise, the delete operation deletes only the backup location from the CommServe database. If the backup location is the only backup location in the disk storage, then the software deletes the disk storage along with the backup location.
