Deleting an object

You can remove one or more objects using the delete operation. The Delete operation permanently removes the selected object from the database. To remove an object without deleting it, use Cut.

About this task

Use delete to remove one or more of the following objects from the database:

If you are deleting the first version of a file, the file is deleted and removed from the database. If the file has a predecessor, your modifiable version is deleted and replaced by its predecessor.

If you need to find an object, see Finding an object. You can delete more than one of the same type of object at a time.

  2. In the Delete dialog box, select the objects you want to delete from the list.

    If you are deleting a project, you can delete all subprojects by selecting the Delete Subprojects check box.
