Deleting Objects

You can delete objects using the Delete command from the action bar.

For objects with multiple revisions, you can delete a revision only if:

  • The previous revision exists and the current owner has read access for it.
  • Both the revision to delete and the previous revision are available and editable on the local site. For more information, see About Site Ownership.

Aggregated objects are deleted with their parent.

  1. Select one or several objects to delete, and click the command.
  2. Optional: To delete the children of the selected objects, select the Whole structure option.
    Details about the structure under each selection are displayed in the Summary section. All of the indicated objects are deleted when you confirm the operation.
  3. Click OK.

    All objects that can be deleted are permanently deleted from the database. The child objects of any object that cannot be deleted are excluded from the delete scope.

    If all or some objects could not be deleted, a dialog box appears with a report. This report indicates which objects have not been deleted, why it has not been deleted and how to solve the issue.
