Deleting unused or outdated objects should be a regular part of Delphix Engine administration. This is especially important to prevent low space errors, which can cause the Delphix Engine to stop. The Delphix Engine holds a maximum of 400 objects.
- Log into the Delphix Management application.
- Select Resources > Storage Capacity.
- Next to the object you want to delete select the Trashcan.
- In the Delete dialog select Force Delete. Oracle users will have the option to provide additional credentials.
- Click Delete.
