how to delete a repository?

[Brendon]

I created a couple of test repository’s how do I delete these?
I am able to delete folders within a repository but can not see how to delete the actual repository.

You need to go to your Vault admin web page to delete a repository. In the admin web page, click the red link on the left that says "Source Control Repositories." On the right, you will see your repositories listed. Click the red X next to the one you wish to delete. Be careful on this page, because once a repository is deleted, it can't be recovered through Vault. You would have to restore your last database backup to get a repository back.

Excellent, thanks.

FYI, while doing this in version 6.1.0 and with the repository open in the client at the same time as deleting via the Admin panel, the client acted almost as if the repository still existed. When attempting to view a label of a file in the repo I got the following error.



Other errors happened for various attempted actions. Refreshing the deleted repo did not kick me out either. It should kick me out because the repo no longer exists.

Lastly, can you confirm that all existing folders within the repo get deleted as well?

A repository deletion is permanent. All the files and folders for that repository are removed from the database.

In order for the client to pick up that change, you will need to either restart your client or go to File - Connect to Server and login again.

I will log a bug.

Fantastic. That answers my question. Thank you Beth, and thanks for logging the bug.
