i dont need ‘Delete a Job From a Copy’ then deleting data from backup, to free up disk space for new backups
Can you check the Disk Library and View Contents what is taking the space?
Can you also check dataaging.log on Commserve?

i checked disk library >view contents and i found
but i dnot know how delete those biggest backup.
You can open the Recycle Bin and see what is inside. Then empty it if you do not need the deleted data.
Now I am confused, I sent you the link to delete the jobs you don’t want to keep, but you said “i dont need ‘Delete a Job From a Copy”.

I want to free up disk space for new backups. whether that space is also occupied by jobs, if the answer is yes, then they should be deleted as well

what is @ Recycle Bin?
Hi Gogi100,
I think we need to clarify the understanding here as in Commvault Jobs represent backup data on the disk library. You can only delete entire Jobs which means that all data that was backed up with a specific Job is deleted.
So, if you want to free up space on the disk library, then you need to delete Jobs.
You can do that using the CommCell Console for example in that you navigate to the Storage Policy Copy, right-click on it and select “View Jobs”. In the Job View, you can then right-click individual Jobs and mark them for deletion. After that you need to start Data Aging which will care about the selected jobs being removed from the Commvault database and physically deleted from the disk via a separete pruning process that is running in the background after the Data Aging was run.
I hope this clarifies the process.

but when i right click on individual job, there is not option for deleting. the picture
In a regular Storage Policy Copy (i.e. not WORM enabled) and with full management permissions on the jobs, the context menu should have an option “Delete Job” at the bottom of the menu:
No idea why this is not shown in your case. Are you sure
