Purging a First Copy Volume
When you purge a First Copy volume, the data it contains is removed. Only First Copy volumes can be purged (Second Copy volumes cannot be purged), and you can only purge a First Copy volume if the data it contains also resides on a Second Copy volume. (See Copying Data from a First Copy Volume to a Second Copy Volume for related information.)
NOTE: Purging a First Copy volume does not remove its files from the database. They are available for viewing and searching as usual.
