Tried that too...after I run the bpmedia -movedb yada yada, I would move
a media to stand-alone, but again, no luck, the old media server is
still there...

Thanks
Dan

Hmm, I have had to do that with jnbSA with 5.1 you were/are able to
force 
remove it, but you may have to move the media to type -> "standalone" 
first.. If I recall there is a 2-5minute delay but then it lets you
remove 
the old media server/tape drives (at least in Linux).
