    Try nbdelete with the -force option. Likely there is entries in the EMM table where NBU track images it can't delete

    If there is fragment left on the storage device and you use the force option, the fragment will remain on the storage device forever, as NBU no longer have any idea that they exist. So use option carefully.

I can confirm that nbdelete worked, the record is gone. That is good.

However how can I verify information about the fragment itself? I would like to know when it is supposed to expire or amount of space that it occupies on the storage? Is this possible?

Thank you, Nicolai.

You could run the nbdelete command with the "-list" option :

-list
Lists imported and unimported snapshots or NetBackup (tar) images eligible for deletion.
