How Do I Delete a Scanned File Database?

A scanned file database can only be deleted manually, by configuring the machine it is hosted on:

1. Open the relevant application, according to the type of database you are running. For example, use SQL Server Management Studio for SQL Server 2005.
2. In the Object Explorer, select the Database Engine that contains the database you want to delete, and connect to it.
3. Browse to the actual database object location within the Databases folder structure.
4. Right-click on the database name and select delete.

   Note: We recommend you accept the default setting to delete the database backup.
