Assuming your are on Backup exec 20.There is a feature for Ransomware or Lockdown that prevents deletion or access.&nbsp;https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100045561&nbsp;Note: Media should be dleeted thru the console storage tab by expiring media. If you manually delete media and dont cleanup the catalogs thru Backup Exec items will be out of sync and cause problems in the future.&nbsp;
