Removing Destinations in vDR

Am I completely missing something, or is the only way to remove destinations (Network Shares in particular) in vDR is to redeploy the appliance and start from scratch?

Thanks for the help!

In the Configuration tab click Destinations then right click the share and select Unmount.

That's what I would've thought. Whenever I select unmount, I get an error.

"The Unmount operation failed because the Destination may be in use. Please try again later."

There are no jobs at all with that destination selected, and there are currently no tasks being performed.

Try rebooting the VDR, then you could dismount the destination (may be after an recatalog job has finished)

Thanks again. I still receive the same error.

I don't see anything in the logs. The share is unusable in the backup job setup, but also unremovable from destinations.

I had to delete the shared folder on the physical server. Then I was able to unmount.
