Offline Drive

Hi,

We have a Dell PowerVault 124T Library that almost 3 month ago the drive after 4 years working gave up and we ask the Dell to replace the drive, after dat in the BE console we can see 2 Dell devices, one is offline and second one had to be re partition and move all the jobs from the defect device to the new device.now we already 2 month using the new drive for our backups.

Now we want to upgrae the BE but I think the first thing we should remove the offline drive, so when we try to remove the offline drive see this:

should we goahead and choose yes? if I go to the jobsetup tab also I see some old jobs that still points to the offline drive should we remove the first from there and then delete the offline drive?
