Deleting specific files from File Vault Store

Hey EV Gurus,

Quick question on deleting files from EV:

We are running some reports on the files in our environment to identify files that need to be deleted from the system, we are not configured to delete expired items automatically, and some of our retention policies have changed.  We're working through a process where people are determining that files in specific archived folders can be erased if they've been archived for a certain amount of time, and we've been digging through SQL to report on that information relatively successfully. In general, we're able to identify the files that we're looking to remove.

Is there a way that we can programatically remove those files from Enterprise Vault?  On some occassions I've used some SQL queries to set some archives to a "marked for deletion" status and then restarted the Enterprise Vault services to remove the entire archive, but in this case I'm trying to do something simliar to individual files.

Does anybody have any thoughts on how we can remove the individual files?

Thank you!

do the file servers and placeholders still exist outside of EV?
