Deleting SharePoint Objects
You can delete many SharePoint objects by using SharePoint Designer. For example, you
can delete lists, libraries, files, site columns, content types, and list columns. You cannot,
however, delete list items. Any lists, libraries, pages, files, or list items that are deleted
by using the browser or SharePoint Designer are stored in the Recycle Bin, from which
you can restore them. When you delete SharePoint objects such as list columns, custom
actions, site columns, and content types, they are not stored in the Recycle Bin, and the
process of restoring them is more complex and will involve your IT department.
In this exercise, you delete a list, a file, and a list column. You then use the Recycle Bin to
restore one of these SharePoint objects.
SET UP Using SharePoint Designer, open the team site you used in the previous
exercise, if it is not already open.
1. In the Navigation pane, click Lists and Libraries.
The Lists And Libraries gallery page is displayed in the workspace.
2. Click the icon to the left of Issues, and then on the Lists and Libraries tab, click
Delete in the Edit group.
The Confirm Delete dialog box is displayed.
