Enterprise Vault 12's support for SQL Always On Availability Groups introduced a check during Vault Store Group deletion to determine if the associated fingerprint catalogue database is in an Availability Group. This check generates an exception when run against a Vault Store Group that is not associated to any fingerprint catalogue database. If an environment has been upgraded from Enterprise Vault 2007 or earlier (which predates the Optimized Single Instance Storage (OSIS) storage model and the Vault Store Group feature), and an administrator has never run the wizard to enable sharing and create the fingerprint catalogue database for the automatically created Default Upgrade Group, then it is possible to encounter this exception when deleting the Default Upgrade Group.

Contact Technical Support for a workaround to delete the Vault Store Group.
