DELETE RETSET (Delete a retention set)

Use this command to delete a retention set. When you delete a retention set, the files that it contains are no longer protected from expiration.

Attention: It is not possible to recover a deleted retention set. Before you start a delete operation, verify that you selected the correct retention set for deletion.

To provide an audit trail that you can use to track deleted or expired retention sets, a record of each deleted retention set (along with its full activity log) is retained in the activity log based on activity log retention settings. To view the activity log, issue the QUERY ACTLOG command.
