You can delete a recovery point for a protection group only by using DPM Management Shell.

Important
In data co-location, as multiple data sources can have their replicas residing on the same replica volume, deleting a recovery point of one data source may delete the recovery point of other data sources. For more information, see Co-Locating Data on Disk.

To delete a recovery point

  1. Use the following syntax to retrieve the location of a recovery point:

    Get-RecoveryPointLocation [-RecoveryPoint] <RecoverySource> [-Verbose] [-Debug] [-ErrorAction <ActionPreference> ] [-ErrorVariable <String> ] [-OutVariable <String> ] [-OutBuffer <Int32> ]

    For more information, type "Get-Help Get-RecoveryPointLocation -detailed" in DPM Management Shell.

    For technical information, type "Get-Help Get-RecoveryPointLocation -full" in DPM Management Shell.

  2. Use the following syntax to delete the recovery point:

    Remove-RecoveryPoint [-RecoveryPoint] <RecoverySource> [-ForceDeletion] [-Verbose] [-Debug] [-ErrorAction <ActionPreference> ] [-ErrorVariable <String> ] [-OutVariable <String> ] [-OutBuffer <Int32> ] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]

    For more information, type "Get-Help Remove-RecoveryPoint -detailed" in DPM Management Shell.

    For technical information, type "Get-Help Remove-RecoveryPoint -full" in DPM Management Shell.
