The delete archive command deletes archived files from server storage. Your administrator must give you authority to delete archived files.
Attention: When you delete archived files, you cannot retrieve them. Verify that the files are obsolete before you delete them.
Supported Clients
This command is valid for all Windows clients.
Syntax
>>-Delete ARchive--+----------+--+- filespec----------------+-->< '- options-' '- {filespacename}filespec-'
Parameters
You can use the subdir common option with the delete archive command. For information about common options, see Chapter 9, Setting Processing Options.
Use the filespacename if the name has changed, or if you are deleting files archived from another node with drive labels that are different from yours. You must specify a mixed or lowercase NTFS file space name enclosed in quotes and braces. For example, {"NTFSDrive"}.
Single quotes or double quotes are valid in loop mode. For example, {"NTFSDrive"} and {'NTFSDrive'} are both valid. In batch mode, only single quotes are valid. The single quotes requirement is a restriction of the operating system.
