Cleanup
You might need a manual cleanup of Data Protector SharePoint GRE installation components if a new
installation or an upgrade of GRE fails. The following steps guide you through the manual cleanup
procedure.
Note:
• Make sure that no GRE restore/recovery sessions are running.
• If you’ve already completed an “Import from Backup” job and a database has been imported
in Granular Recovery Cache, it is recommended to remove (with SQL tools) the imported
database first before removing SharePoint GRE.
