Delete Recovery and Discovery Archives

When all tasks related to a Discovery or Recovery Archive are complete and the archived messages are no longer required to be excluded from applicable Retention Policy purging, the Recovery or Discovery Archive can be deleted and its messages can be allowed to be purged per their applicable Retention Policies.

At this time, Reviewers (with the authority to do so) should contact their AMS Administrator, with the name of the Archive, and ask the Administrator to delete the Archive. This will return all the archive’s messages to the control of their respective Retention Policies.
