Deleting a file
Only an administrator or a user with the appropriate security role and delete privilege for a file can delete that file. Deleting a file removes it from the Encyclopedia volume. Deleting a file does not remove temporary versions or external links to the file. Temporary versions exist until they expire or time out and links to the deleted file fail. For example, temporary file links appear when:
Other documents contain links to the deleted document.
The deleted document is embedded with JavaScript in an external web page.
Dashboard gadgets use the documents or present them.
Job and channel notifications exist for the file job that created the deleted file.
Links to temporary or transient documents that exist in the Information Console’s cache memory that have not expired.
