Either let the data expire through defined retention policies, or move
the data off of them using move data commands.  Deleting them is not a
good idea as you are destroying your backup data if you do.

Are you running reclamation on your storage pools?  Volumes with a low
percentage utilized and high percentage reclaimable should be reclaimed
and returned to scratch automatically.

Subject: [ADSM-L] scratch tapes

Hello,
      Currently there are a number of volumes that contains data but I
would like to flush them and turn those volumes into "scratch" .

What would be the correct way to do that?

Thanks.
