Deleting Library Items
Library Folder
2. Click the Link Search button ( ).
3. A list of all content that references the library item is displayed.
You should edit that content before deleting the item.
You can delete obsolete items from the library. By deleting an item,
you prevent users from adding it to their content. A deleted
hyperlink, quicklink or form quicklink remains on your Web server,
so any existing links to them are not broken.
On the other hand, if an item is a file or image, the delete window
displays an additional prompt, Remove from the server, that lets
you remove the item from the server. This feature is available to
help reduce disk space taken up by these files. Before removing an
image or file from your server, you should review all content with
links to it and remove or update the link. To delete an item from the
library, follow these steps.
1. Access the View Library Item for any type of library item, as
described in ”Viewing Files” on page 143.
2. Click the Delete button ( ).
3. The Delete Library Item screen is displayed.
4. If appropriate, check the box next to Remove from the server
(see above).

Adding a Library File to Content
After a file is copied to the library, users can add it to content. (See
”Adding a Library File to Content” on page 149)
You can also insert an item into the library while adding it to
content. (See ”Adding a File to the Library and Inserting it into
Content” on page 150)
If you insert an image file, it appears within the content. If you add
any other type of file, the file name appears as a hyperlink within
the content. When a site visitor viewing that page clicks the
hyperlink, the inserted file is launched.
