Delete an application media pool

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2

To delete an application media pool

  1. Open Removable Storage.

  2. If Removable Storage is in Full view, in the console tree, double-click Media Pools.

    If Removable Storage is in Simple view, on the View menu, click Full, and then double-click Media Pools.

  3. Right-click the application media pool you want to delete, and then click Delete.

Notes

  • To complete this procedure, you need the appropriate administrative credentials for the affected Removable Storage item. To maintain system security, rather than logging in as an administrator, log in as a user without administrative credentials, and run Removable Storage as an administrator by right-clicking the Computer Management icon, clicking Run As, and choosing an account in the local Administrators group.

  • To open Removable Storage, click Start and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management. In the console tree, double-click Storage and then click Removable Storage.

  • You cannot delete free, import, or unrecognized media pools.

Information about functional differences

  • Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
