Permanently remove a vault and delete its information
You can delete an entire vault and all the photos on it when you need to reconfigure your
backup system. This is useful when you have moved your backup vault to a larger-capacity hard
disk and you want to delete the vault information from the current hard disk drive to use it for
other purposes.
1 In the Vault pane, select the vault you want to remove.
2 Do one of the following:
•
Choose File > Vault > Remove Vault.
•
Choose Remove Vault from the Vault Action pop-up menu .
A dialog appears, asking if you want to remove the vault.
3 Click one of the following buttons:
•
Remove and Delete: When you click this button, Aperture no longer tracks the vault, and the
vault’s files are deleted from your hard disk.
•
Remove: When you click this button, Aperture no longer tracks the vault, but the vault’s files
remain on the hard disk.
Disconnect and reconnect vaults
You may routinely disconnect a backup hard disk drive from your Aperture system and take it to
a safe offsite location. When you disconnect a backup hard disk from your computer, Aperture
takes the associated vault offline. When you reconnect the hard disk, Aperture automatically
detects the hard disk and connects it to the corresponding vault.
Disconnect a vault’s hard disk drive from your Aperture system
1 In the Finder, drag the icon for the hard disk drive to the Trash, or select the disk in the sidebar
of a Finder window and click the Eject button.
2 Disconnect the hard disk drive from your computer.
