Why can't a Delta Trust vault be erased from Storage Studio on my Mac?

\n

Short answer: Delta Trust is designed so nothing on your Mac — Storage Studio included — can delete your vault. To remove it, close the vault from your account.

\n

Delta Trust is built so that nothing on your Mac — including Storage Studio, or anything harmful running on it — can delete what's in your vault. That protection would be meaningless if the app itself had an erase button.

\n

If you want the vault removed, close it from your account. See Delta Trust.
