I want to use a current vault as a source of sample scripts that I have created but I do not need the data so I want to delete most objects. I can do this through search and delete at desktop but it is tiresome
You could use the Archive Old versions in Admin. You can define filters to archive the relevant objects. They will at first be moved to a replication package on the server. You can delete that package when done if you are certain you won't need the objects later on.
