Reusing a Vault Address After Deletion

Hi everyone,

I am considering deleting a cloud vault that I created in my Manage Portal and then recreating a new one with the same name. Before proceeding with the deletion, I have a few questions:

If I delete a vault and later create a new one with the exact same name, for instance:

  • Vault address of the deleted vault: examplevault.cloudvault.m-files.com
  • Vault address of the newly created vault: examplevault.cloudvault.m-files.com

My main concern is whether a deleted vault’s address remains permanently occupied or if it is only temporarily blocked. Is there a retention period after which I can reuse the same vault address?

I appreciate any insights on this. Thanks!

  • I believe there is some retention period, you can check the details from the cloud operations team. They may also be able to help you switch the address faster so I suggest raising a Cloud Service Request via the Support Portal.
