How to Delete an Installation Package from AV Repository

Deleting an installation package from AV Repository implies removing all records from Plesk database that are associated with this package, and then removing all files and folders of the package physically from the server-side folder of Application Vault (/cgitory).

Note: If the package being deleted has installations on domains, the deployed web applications will go on function smoothly after the package is deleted from AV Repository. The deletion of such applications from the domain won't encounter any problems, but Plesk Administrator should take into account that reconfiguring these applications after the deletion of the 'source' package will be locked.

To delete an installation package from AV Repository, Plesk Administrator should do the following:

  1. In Plesk Control Panel, click on the Server tab in the navigation pane and get to the Server Administration page.
  2. In the Services section of this page, open the Application Vault tool by clicking on the relevant icon.
  3. In the list of installation packages at the bottom of the Application Vault page, check an application (or several ones) to delete.
  4. Click on the Remove Selected button located in the right upper corner of the installation package list.
  5. After you get to the Removal Confirmation page, check the Confirm Removal checkbox and click OK.

Once the delete operation has finished, you will get back to the Application Vault page displaying the updated installation package list.
