i have to remove a DiskXtender for Windows 6.2.090 Service Pack 1 software, on a Windows 2003 Server. So far I , deleted the rules, compacted all the 4 NAS media, deleted the media groups, ran a forced background scan.
Now I have the 4 media under Available Media / Original. The 4 media are NAS media, the files are stored on a file share of another Windows 2003 server. I can not deallocate them, because I get "Message: Unable to deallocate media XYZ Error: ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2) Description: The system cannot find the file specified". The media status is online to all.
I can not delete the Extended drive either, I get the same error message ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2).
I suggest you can try "remove" media from extended drive first. You will get 'remove' option when you right-click on media in GUI. Then "deallocate" from the extended drive.
Not sure what could be wrong for this error. One reasn could be some DX specific files are missing.
I opened a case, and EMC support helped. The solution was registry entry deletion. First the media, then the extended drive. Finally DX uninstall, and a reboot. Now DX is completely uninstalled.

Since you have compacted all media entire data is present in the Extended drive.
Please raise a ticket and we can look what is the issue. Deallocating media should not be a major issue.
