Remove an item from a folder

A folder contains a reference to an item but not the item itself. The item resides in the library.

Removing an item from a folder unfiles the reference from that folder, unfiling does not remove the item's references from other folders. It also does not delete the item. If you remove an item from all folders, the item remains in the library and you can retrieve it a search.

If you want to remove the items from the library, you must delete them.

You must have Author or higher access rights to the folder to unfile a CS document.

You must have Append/Execute access rights to the folder to unfile an IS document.
