Microsoft DPM 2010 delete inactive replicas

Sometimes, when a protection group is modified, the leftovers from protection group will remain as inactive data. If you’re not intending to restore this data in the future, there’s a simple command to remove those and free up disk space.

Get-Datasource -Inactive | Remove-DatasourceReplica –Disk
Instead of graphical interface boring clicking and removing you can do this almost instantly. What this script does:
Get’s inactive datasources on defined server and removes them from your disk.
