You can delete a site configuration or pool configuration. The global configuration cannot be removed. If you delete the global configuration, it is automatically reset to the default values. For details about how Archiving configurations are implemented, including which options you can specify and the hierarchy of Archiving configurations, see How Archiving works in Lync Server 2013 in the Planning documentation, Deployment documentation, or Operations documentation.

To delete a site or pool configuration for archiving

From a user account that is assigned to the CsArchivingAdministrator or CsAdministrator role, log on to any computer in your internal deployment.
Open a browser window, and then enter the Admin URL to open the Lync Server Control Panel. For details about the different methods you can use to start Lync Server Control Panel, see Open Lync Server 2013 administrative tools.
In the left navigation bar, click Monitoring and Archiving, and then click Archiving Configuration.
In the list of archiving configurations, click the site or pool configuration that you want to delete, click Edit, and then click Delete.
Click Commit.
