Edit virtual file systems

Virtual file systems listed in Setup β†’ Virtual File Systems can be edited or deleted using the menus available through the 3-dot icon on the right side of each entry:

  • EDIT – Modify the configuration of the VFS.

  • DELETE – Remove the VFS, if allowed.

When a virtual file system or virtual path cannot be deleted

Certain conditions prevent the deletion of a Virtual File System or its virtual paths. When one of these conditions applies, Data Mover displays a warning message explaining why the operation cannot proceed.

  • VFS or virtual path used in a VFS View: a VFS or virtual path cannot be deleted if it is referenced by a VFS View. A warning message will indicate that it is in use and will name the affected VFS View.

  • Virtual path used in a Connection Contract: if a virtual path is referenced in one or more Connection Contracts, it cannot be removed from a VFS or a VFS View. The warning message lists every Contract using that virtual path.

  • Virtual path linked to a Connection Contract: a virtual path cannot be deleted from a View if it is associated with a Connection Contract built on that View. The warning message lists every Connection Contracts using the virtual path.

  • Virtual paths linked to Contracts: any virtual path that is linked to a Contract cannot be deleted.

  • Non‑empty virtual paths: a virtual path containing one or more files cannot be deleted.

  • VFS containing files: a VFS that has files stored in any of its virtual paths cannot be deleted.

  • VFS with virtual paths attached to Contracts or Connections: a VFS cannot be deleted if one or more of its virtual paths are attached to a Contract Connection or to a Contract.
