How to delete content from a pool.

What kind of tools I have, to delete content from a pool where the old application (DiskXtender) is not available?

What do you suggest cascommandline tools or CASScript?

I have the credentials to the pool. I have the delete and privileged delete rights to the pool. Cheked it with c-ping, delete allowed, privileged-delete allowed, purge not-allowed.

Using the c-list I can query the ClipID's, then with c-stat I get some information and can check they are realy the Clip's what I want to delete.

Yes they are!

Then I need to delete them and then check they are all gone.

I tried to delete using c-del but without any success.

When I used c-del without any special delete option, then I got the following error

Low level API error occurred: Client error code = (-10156), system error code = 17 - 4H********************ClipID************************6, Transaction on the server failed (transid='hostname/6/DELETE_CLIP').

I tried purge, then I did not get any erro message, but when I check the existence of a clip whit c-stat or c-validate, it is still there.

Could you tell me what is the problem?

After the delete is it necessary to run the garbage collector, to free up the space?

Thank You, Krisztian

After I post this I found this thread:

I forgot to mention that Centera system in my case is full too, and it is a GE (Goverance Ed.) but retention is not set on this pool what i mentioned.
