Intervention Option: Delete (Scanned Files)

Available for: Data At Rest. Note that a DoD Overwrite and Delete option is also available.

Not available for: Emails; Application Monitor; Data In Motion.

Choose Delete to delete files. These can be files located in a local or remote file system, or on Microsoft SharePoint sites. From a user’s viewpoint, they will only be aware that their file no longer exists when they next try to view it. You can still capture the associated file event and copy the file to an alternative location.

You can combine this control action with a Copy action to effectively move files to a new location.
