The Delete dialog box allows you to delete files or folders from the repository. The Delete command is non-destructive and the items still exists in the history of the repository. The items can be recovered by clicking the Undelete command found in the Folder Properties dialog box.
The Vault client does not allow operations that destroy history. The Obliterate command is available in the Vault Admin Tool, which actually destroys the deleted file.
The Delete dialog box can be opened:
• From the File menu, select Delete
• Right-click on selected folder to bring up the Folder Tree Context Menu, select Delete
• Right-click on selected file to bring up the File List Context Menu, select Delete
• Select Delete on the Toolbar
Are you sure you want to delete the following files?
A list of the selected files or the folder will appear in the box. If a folder is selected, the folder and all of its contents, recursively, will be deleted.
OK
Click OK to delete the items and close the Delete dialog box.
If Auto-Commit has been selected (default), the files will be deleted in the Vault repository immediately. If Auto-Commit has not selected, the files will be deleted in the repository as part of the next check in transaction.
Please see Auto-Commit for more information.
Cancel
Click Cancel to close the Delete dialog box. The item will not be deleted.
