Deleting Content
NOTE
NOTE
Deleting Content
The ability to delete content is a privilege granted by the system administrator. If
you do not see a Delete option on the View Contents of Folder screen, you do not
have permission to do so.
It is good practice to check for broken quicklinks before deleting content. See
”Checking for Broken Quicklinks” on page 59.
The Delete command lets you permanently delete obsolete
content from your Web site.
There are two ways to delete content.
• A folder-level Delete option ( ) removes several
content items from the current folder. This option only deletes
Approved content. For more information, see ”Deleting Several
Content Items in a Folder” on page 59.
• Depending on the content’s status and your permissions, you
may be able to delete one item at a time. The options for doing
so are
- a Delete option when viewing content from a Web page
- a Delete menu option that appears after selecting content
on the View Contents of Folder screen
For more information, see ”Deleting a Single Content Item” on
page 57.
Like publishing, deleted content must proceed through the
approval chain before it is removed. If you are the last approver in
the approval chain, the content is deleted immediately. See Also:
”Approving/Declining Content” on page 87
