Deleting a Backup Vault with 4000 snapshots

Hi I need to delete a single backup vault that has 4000 snapshots. I'm only allowed to select 50 snapshots MAX at a time. IS there a more efficient way of deleting the entire vault?

Hello.

You can also delete recovery points with commands as described in the documentation below.
So, I think you can create a script and delete them without selecting them one by one.
