      Hello-
      
      You mean like this?
      
      Right Click on the Vault Root folder to access the Destroy dialog box. See the screenshot below.

        You might try using Dispatch.
        
        See the screenshot below for an example.

        Another method that might work is to use the Search function, at every location, to gather a group of files to Delete, then Delete them all at once. Next, right click the Vault root and Destroy. You could save the Search Card and then distribute it to other locations.
        
        Sometimes it takes longer to try and automatic a task than it does to just do it manually.
        
        Could you write the code to use Dispatch? If not, you might consider paying someone to do it. Just a thought.

        Thank you sowell really helpful.. might the below settings will also help....?
        
        Archive server cleanup
        
        A recurring archive cleanup process that removes deleted archives (for example, in a replicated scenario
        where file archives has been deleted on one server, the cleanup removes archives from the additional
        servers) and verifies archive consistency is started by default at 03.00 every night for all file vault
        archives stored on the archive server.
        
        Activate the compression or cleanup manually
        
        To manually change the schedule for either operation, add the following (string) registry values to the
        archive server (replace VAULTNAME with your file vault name):
        o HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SolidWorks\Applications\PDMWorks
        Enterprise\ArchiveServer\Vaults\VAULTNAME\CompressionSchedule
        o HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ SolidWorks\Applications\PDMWorks
        Enterprise\ArchiveServer\Vaults\VAULTNAME\CleanerSchedule
