you can't delete... can rename it though. Another way is to manipulate the EnterpriseVaultDirectory database.

OK,

If its not a default RC, then do the following making 100% sure you do not have data associated with that RC or you will end up with an "categorized" RC.

To list all your RC's:
USE EnterpriseVaultDirectory
SELECT *
FROM RetentionCategoryEntry

To delete the RC:
USE EnterpriseVaultDirectory
DELETE FROM RetentionCategoryEntry
WHERE RetentionCategoryId = '1F2C6F8203FC38C4C8CA04F17459B4CBE1b10000ev01'

 Or if you want to just stop people using it edit the properties and set it to hidden.

In our case, we did the same thing Rod suggests in his post and hid the categories we didn't want people to use anymore.

Hi Wayne,

I have issue on storage replicator v3. I'm replicating my "F" drive data (users shared files) to a target machine. The replication is successful but during the replication process, the folder becomes hidden file (system file). I can do the folder option to show all the files but why is it behaving this way?

I tried replicating other folders and it was not hidden on the target machine after the replication.

Your help will be much appreciated.

You can also send me an email at oracle965@yahoo.com

Please use the appropriate product forum.
I believe it's this one:

We are Enterprise Vault folks here, and cannot help you.

Just to explain:

You cannot delete a retention category if there are still items in the archive which are using this category.
(For obvious reasons)...

Yes I know that but this retention was never used.
