I think the IDEA is already logged in the Ideas section of the forums ... i.e. to be able to do deletes from a command line.
Hello John,
Unfortunately, you can't use a PS script to delete archives from Enterprise Vault, since is not available. At this point, the only way to delete archives is from the VAC, one by one. Marking archives for deletion from SQL is not supported and you can end deleting archives that you don't want to.
However, if you are deleting the AD user account as well, in the VAC, you can sort the archive's list by 'Bill usage to' and look for the account that just display the SID. Then, you can delete the archives you need.
Also, if you want to delete archives to get more free space in the storage, keep in mind that if you have sharing enabled at the Vault Store level, you might try to delete an archive that is 1 GB on size but at the end, you might get less than 1 GB of free space back in the storage due to the sharing.
I hope this helps.
