Delete WORM domain and directories

You can set an attribute on a WORM domain using the CLI to enable you to delete the directories and files in the domain, and the domain itself. This is useful in the scenario where you created a WORM domain that is not needed, incorrectly named a SmartLock directory, or created a SmartLock directory in the wrong location.

In order to delete SmartLock directories and the corresponding WORM domain, you must set the pending delete flag on the domain using the isi worm domain modify <domain> --set-pending-delete CLI command. For more information, see Delete a SmartLock directory.

NOTE You cannot set the pending delete flag in the Web UI.

Once a WORM domain is marked pending for delete:

No new files may be created, renamed, or hard-linked into the domain.
Existing files may not be committed or have their retention dates extended.
SyncIQ will fail to sync to and from the domain.
