Deleting documents

Deleting a document permanently removes it from the system unless it is linked outside of the folder, in which case it will be unlinked from the current folder. All attached files and URLs are also deleted.

Before you begin

To perform this task, you must be the owner of the document or a member of an access group that has been assigned an access profile with the Delete permission for documents.

Tip     Instead of deleting documents, change the lifecycle status to Obsolete.

To delete a document:

1. In the navigation pane, select the parent folder of the document that you want to delete.
2. In the Documents view, select the documents that you want to delete.
3. In the ribbon, in the Document group, click Delete. A confirmation page appears.
4. Click Yes, delete document.
