Delete a document

Deleting a document removes it from all folders and deletes the document from the library.

If you delete a compound document or published document, the document is removed from the library. Deleting a parent document in a compound document breaks all links with its components. If the compound document has multiple versions, only components linked to the latest compound document version are deleted.

For a published document, all references from the source document’s properties are removed.

Deleting CS documents is only available on CS 5.1 and 5.2 libraries. You cannot delete documents stored on a CS 4.3 library.

You must have Author or higher access rights to delete a CS document.

You must have Read, Write, and Append/Execute access rights to delete an IS document.

To delete a document

  1. Locate the document by browsing or searching.

  2. Select a document ID, and then click on the FWS toolbar.
