Deleting a snapshot specification

To conserve disk space, you can delete snapshot specifications that you no longer need. You can choose to archive all snapshots generated from the snapshot specification, if you would like to keep a record of the results. Or, you can choose to delete the snapshot specification and all snapshots associated with it.

To delete a snapshot specification:

  1. In the navigation pane, select Library > By Type > Audit and Remediation > Snapshot Specifications.
  2. Select Windows or UNIX.
  3. Select one or more snapshot specifications and then select Actions > Delete.
  4. In the Confirmation Dialog, click Yes to delete this snapshot specification or click No if you do not want to delete it.

    You can also select the Archive Snapshots option, which will archive all snapshots generated from the snapshot. If you do not select the Archive option, all snapshots generated from the selected snapshot specification will be deleted.

Note When you delete a snapshot specification, all schedules associated with it are also deleted. See Snapshot Jobs.
