Remove an Archive

About this task

When you remove an archive, it no longer appears in Configuration Hub. However, it exists in the Archives folder (by default, C:\Proficy Historian Data\Archives).

You cannot remove the current archive. If you want to remove it, you must first close it. When you do so, another archive is used for writing data.

Procedure

  1. Access Configuration Hub.
  2. In the NAVIGATION section, under the Configuration Hub plugin for Historian, select Archives.
    The Archives section appears.
  3. Right-click the archive that you want to remove (or select ), and then select Remove Archive.
    A message appears, asking you to confirm that you want to remove the archive.
  4. Select Yes.
    The archive file is removed.
