Deleting an account
In addition to adding and modifying accounts, you can remove an account from the
system by selecting the account in the list, then pressing the
Remove button. A
confirmation dialog will prompt you for additional instructions, as shown below.
The default action is to delete all file data associated with the account from
disk storage and remove all account information from the database. You can
alter the action based on your needs. For instance, you may choose to retain
the account’s file data and delete it manually at a later time. Each of the
available options is discussed below.
Account Options
Check ”Delete the account’s data directory from all storage locations” to remove all the
account’s backed up data from the file system. This does not remove information about the files
from the database. CAUTION: Once the data directory is removed, the account will no longer
be able to restore any backed up files unless the database has been altered to find the files
elsewhere.
Check ”Delete the account’s log files” to remove the account’s log files from the file system.
This is a housekeeping option has no effect on the account.
