Hi Guys,
I am using a NetBackup Appliance 5240 (as a Media Server),while my NetBackup Master Server is on Oracle Linux,
and already have created a MSDP Pool of 13TB on Appliance from which only 6% (598 GB) is used.
Now i want to clear all that data or want to remove the backup images from the pool.
How can i do that?
Can anybody please help.
Thanks.

You will need to expire all images written to the MSDP pool.
You can use the expiration steps in the MSDP decommission TN: https://www.veritas.com/content/support/en_US/article.100004810.html
Expire only the images from the catalog that reside on the MSDP Disk Pool to be removed.

If I understood clearly your question and you cannot use anymore your data I think that you asking about factory reset.
First of all you need to do Decommission and then factory reset, take a look these articles
About NetBackup appliance factory reset
Veritas NetBackup™ Appliance Decommissioning and Reconfiguration Guide
Veritas NetBackup™ Appliance Administrator's Guide
Hope this help.
