Share this article:

Any files and folders can be deleted from AppColl by following these steps:

  1. Go to the Files module.
  2. Select the Folder and/or Files you wish to delete. 
  3. Click the Delete button. You will receive a confirmation message prompting you whether you wish to go through with the deletion.



If items are accidentally deleted, they can be recovered from the Trash by clicking the Trash hyperlink in the upper right corner of any page.

Deleting Documents with Multiple Revisions

AppColl automatically creates a revision of a file any time the same filename is upload to a directory. For example, 20160701_ANDROMY.pdf has been uploaded five times into the same folder. Each version is stored along with a revision number and the date and time it was uploaded.

Important: Checking the checkbox and deleting a file with multiple revisions will only delete the most recent version. For example, in the top screenshot, deleting 20160701_ANDROMY.pdf will only delete revision 6. In order to delete all revisions of a file:

  1. Select the Show all revisions checkbox.
  2. Select all versions of the File.
  3. Click the Delete button.
