Deleting managed files
You can delete a managed file if you no longer have any use for that file. You cannot delete a managed file if it is associated with a business object, such as a catalog entry, category, or marketing content.
Before you begin
Procedure
- Open the Assets tool.
- In the explorer view, find the managed file that you want to delete.
- From
the Files - List view, right-click the managed file;
then click Delete.
Note: If you are working in an extended sites store and the file that you want to delete is contained in an attachment that belongs to an asset store, you cannot delete the file unless you are authorized to access the asset store. When you are in an extended site store, the icon in the Type column for the attachment displays a small black square to indicate that the attachment belongs to an asset store. Any changes that you make to the attachment are applied to all stores that use this attachment.
