Eric,

Deleted databases do not "automatically" get inactivated.
You must manually inactivate them.

>From the command-line interface, use the TDPSQLC INACTIVATE command.
It is very similar to the RESTORE command.
Enter TDPSQLC HELP INACTIVATE to see the exact syntax.

>From the GUI, go to "View", "Inactivate Tab", and you will see
a new tab show up which allows you to choose the database
backups that you would like to inactivate.

Thanks,

Del
