Privileged delete functionality has certain limitations such as you cannot delete a file that has exceeded the retention period, cannot use this feature in a SnapLock Compliance volume and so on.
- The privileged delete functionality is not available for SnapLock Compliance volumes.
- You cannot use the privileged delete functionality to delete a file that has exceeded its retention period.
- You cannot perform the privileged delete operation on alternate data streams because you cannot commit the alternate data streams to the WORM state.
- Privileged delete functionality is not available for use through standard protocols such as NFS or CIFS. It is available only through proprietary command-line interface.
- The vFiler units do not support privileged delete operations. Privileged delete is allowed only for the volumes owned by the default vFiler unit (vfiler0).
- If the privileged delete feature is set to on for a SnapLock Enterprise volume, you cannot move the volume from the default vFiler unit to any other vFiler unit.
