How can I delete the Default Vault?

I still have the default vault and it's associated data on my disk taking up 3.6GB if space. I'd sure like to have that space available. How can I delete the Default Vault and its associated data?

From M-Files server administrator, select the vault right click->operations->destroy

Yeah, the problem is, it is no longer visible.

So I'm guessing that you 'see it' in windows explorer? If so you'll see the default and current vaults, each identified by an ID code (long string of character groups). Find out which one matche the ID of the vault you are using, then do a windows delete on the other one.

Probably a good idea to back up you working vault first (just in case of pressing the wrong button).

No it's in a space analyzer that I use.

Ah I think I've found it. Looks like I'll have to attach it then destroy it.

Thanks for the reply Dave.
