To Delete A Cartridge (Administrators Only) - HP StoreOnce User Manual

If you create a cartridge in an empty slot, the backup application needs to inventory it (add
it to its database or catalog) before it can access it.
If you create a cartridge in an empty mail slot, you can use the backup application to move
the blank, new cartridge to an empty cartridge slot, without having to run an inventory. This
saves some processing time.
You may need to restart your backup application services to see the new cartridges.

confirm that all cartridges should be deleted, warning you that mapped slots in replication targets
will not be deleted. If this is OK, click Delete All. If not, use Delete Blank.
