Answer 1

Morning, try this:

Export the Microsoft.SystemCenter.SecureReferenceOverride

make a backup copy

Use NotePad++ to edit the MP

Use Find to locate EnterpriseVault

NotePad++ will highlight the lines that encompass the section.

Use you mouse to select those lines and delete them.

Delete any blank lines that were left

Increment the last digit of the version number of the Microsoft.SystemCenter.SecureReferenceOverride

save the file and reimport it.

Try once again the delete the MP you want to remove.

Hope this helps.
