This procedure moves a currently selected document to the repository's deleted documents storage location.

Note: Deleted documents and folders remain in the repository and may only be expunged (permanently removed) or restored by your KnowledgeTree administrator. Documents are restored and expunged in the Document Storage section of DMS Administration.

Pre-requisites:

•	You must have the appropriate permissions on the document or folder to delete it.

Note on deleting Immutable documents:

Non-administrative users are not able to delete immutable documents. Only administrative users may delete Immutable documents, and then only through the Delete action from the immutable document's Document Detail page.

Perform the following steps:

1.	Login to KnowledgeTree's web interface; then, search for the relevant document, or navigate the folder structure in Browse Documents to locate the relevant document.

2.	The following options may be used to delete a document:

•	If you are viewing the document's Document Detail page; then, use the Delete link in the Document actions menu to delete the document.

•	If you are viewing the document along with other documents and folders in the list of contents in the folder view; then, select the check box adjacent to the document (select the check box for each document and folder you want to delete); then, click the Delete button at the bottom of the page.

3.	Specify the reason for the deletion; then, click Delete.

Note: The document/s and/or the folder/s you selected are removed from the folder, and this action is recorded in the Transaction History reports.
