Canceling a directory delete job

If you need to cancel the deletion of a directory, you can do so while the job is still in progress.

  1. Enter advanced privilege mode: -privilege advanced
  2. Verify that the directory delete is in progress: volume file async-delete show
    If the SVM, volume, JobID and path of your directory is displayed, you can cancel the job.
  3. Cancel the directory delete: volume file async-delete cancel -vserver SVM_name -volume volume_name -jobid job_id
