3.2.4 Remove a Vault

An Exascale vault is a logical file container.

To delete a vault, use the ESCLI rmvault command. For example:

@> rmvault @myvaultname

As shown in the example, the simplest form of the command deletes the specified vault.

You can add the --nowait option to return immediately and run the operation in the background instead of waiting for the command to finish.

You can add the --force option to delete the vault and all of the files that it contains. Take extreme care with this option!

If you attempt to delete a vault that is not empty without the --force option, then the operation fails and an error is displayed.
