Deleting Tape Drive Firmware Used in Autoleveling

The library allows you to delete a firmware image file if you no longer want to autolevel tape drive firmware. In addition, you might want to delete a firmware image file if your library no longer contains a specific tape drive version. For example, if you replace all LTO-2 tape drives with LTO-3 tape drives, you no longer need the LTO-2 firmware.

Users with administrative privileges can delete tape drive firmware, but users with user privileges cannot.
