Deleting a qtree

You can delete a qtree using Windows Explorer or a UNIX client, if the qtree permissions allow.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the following conditions are true:
  • The volume that contains the qtree you want to delete is mounted (for NFS) or mapped (for CIFS).
  • The qtree you are deleting is not directly mounted and does not have a CIFS share directly associated with it.
  • The qtree permissions allow you to modify the qtree.

Steps

  1. Find the qtree you want to delete.

    Note: The qtree appears as a normal directory at the root of the volume.

  2. Delete the qtree using the method appropriate for your client.

    Example

    The following command on a UNIX host deletes a qtree that contains files and subdirectories:rm -Rf directory

    Note: On a Windows host, you must use Windows Explorer to delete a qtree.
