Deleting

This procedure describes how to delete most types of repository items.

To delete an item:

  1. Navigate to the item.

    If you want to delete a link but not the original item, make sure to navigate to the location of the link, not to the location of the original item.

  2. Do one of the following, depending on the options available:

    • Click Delete.

    • Click More>File>Delete.

    • Select the item’s checkbox. (To delete several items at once, select each item’s checkbox). Select File>Delete.

  3. If you are prompted to specify what to delete, make the appropriate choices. You might be prompted to select the following:

    • You might be prompted whether to delete just the selected version of the item or all versions.

    • You might be prompted whether to delete translations of the item.

    • If the item is a linked item, you might be prompted whether to delete just the current link to the item in the location you have chosen, or whether to delete the item in all locations.

    • If the item is a folder, you might be prompted whether to delete just the folder or all sub folders and objects.

    • If the item is a virtual document, you might be prompted whether to delete the descendants.

    • If the item has relationships to other items in the repository, you might be prompted whether to continue deletion.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • If you are deleting one item, click OK or Finish.

    • If you are deleting multiple items, you can display the delete options for each item by using the Next and Prev buttons. For the last item, click Finish. If desired, you can click Finish before you get to the last item. Doing so applies any settings you specified to all remaining items and prompts you to click Continue to confirm that is what you want to do.
