Removing credentials.
Cannot delete one credential which I use for shared folder. Get warning: "credentials are currently in use on at least one object".
I remove all jobs for that and cant find any old trace.
in details is list of 3 folders and description say "shared folder".

Hi,

Do these credentials show up in the credentials manager?

[folerx]

yes, both root

So are those linux or windows credentials? If windows, do you have any repository that is accessed as an SMB share? Or any folder in those servers that is used as a source or destination of a file copy job?

These shared folder objects are from file to tape jobs. There is no user interface for removing them, they can only either be removed by database query, or changed to point to a different credentials record (by adding the shares to a new file to tape job, but denying the backup server access to those shares so that the file to tape job requests credentials).

A knowledge base article on this topic is currently under review prior to publication.
