Note: The ability to delete content is a permission 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.
Note: It is good practice to check for broken quicklinks before deleting content. See Link Checking.
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.
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.
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: Approve/Decline Content
