Managing Models › Delete a Model

Delete a Model

Deleting a model permanently removes the model and its subsets from the encyclopedia.

Important! You cannot restore a model after deleting it.

Consider deleting models that you no longer use to prevent space problems.

Before deleting a model, ensure that the following conditions are satisfied:

• Check in the model and its subsets or override all checkouts from the model.
• Only the model's administrator, an encyclopedia administrator, or a member of the group that administered the model can delete a model.

Note: For syntax on the command-line alternative, enter delmodel in the directory in which the Encyclopedia servers are installed.

Follow these steps:

1. Log on to the encyclopedia through the Encyclopedia Client.
2. Open the model.
3. In the Encyclopedia Model Selection window, select Actions, Delete.
4. Click OK in the Delete Confirmation dialog.

   As it deletes the model, it displays a progress gauge. The Continue button is disabled.

5. Click the Continue button to finish.

The Model Selection window opens when the deletion finishes.
