# Delete a file protection replication session

Network-attached storage is a file-level storage architecture that makes stored data more accessible to networked devices.

## About this task

See Understanding PowerMax File for storage systems for an overview of PowerMax File.

The Delete replication operation deletes the replication for all of the user file systems of a NAS server on both the systems and the current system. The NAS Server and its file systems data is not removed. Depending on the SRDF state, Unisphere for PowerMax automatically selects the type of delete replication (delete replication from both sides or delete replication from current side). Delete replication from both source and destination requires both the sites to be up and delete replication from the current (or local) side is applicable when there is no access to the peer side.

## Steps

1. Select a storage system that supports PowerMax File.
2. Select Data Protection > File Protection.
3. Select REPLICATION > REPLICATION SESSION.
4. Select a session, click , and click Delete.
5. Select one of the following:
   - Click Delete the NAS Server Session from both Source and Destination.
   - Click Delete the NAS Server Session from Current System.
6. Click OK.
