Using Deep Freeze Enterprise Configuration Administrator : Drives Tab : Existing ThawSpace

Existing ThawSpace
The Retain during install/uninstall checkbox is selected by default to prevent ThawSpaces created during previous installations from being deleted. A dialog is always displayed asking if the ThawSpace should be retained or deleted during an Attended Uninstall, regardless of whether Retain during install/uninstall has been selected. This option is not displayed if the uninstall is performed through the Enterprise Console.
Select Delete during configuration update to delete all the existing ThawSpaces on the workstation and re-create while applying the configuration. The existing ThawSpaces and the data in the ThawSpaces will be deleted and the new ThawSpaces as per the settings will be created when the configuration is applied.
The Honor Group Policy settings for Hidden Drives ensures that the Group Policy settings for hidden drives do not conflict with the Deep Freeze settings for hidden drives.
Hidden drive settings for Group Policies are user-specific. Hidden drive settings for Deep Freeze are global if the Honor Group Policy settings for Hidden Drives option is disabled.
