Deleting Web Publishing Files

There are two ways to delete Web Publishing Files using Windows Client options:

• By using the Delete option in the User View pop-up menu. This option will delete the User View and it will also delete any web published files that were created by the User View output destination Web Publishing. For example; if you had a Web Publishing file output destination defined to the default directory (\BrightStor SRM Data\Database\Web Publishing) then those files will be deleted also. If your Web Publishing destination was to a directory other than the default then the system will delete the User View and it will also delete both the Web Publishing files from the directory \BrightStor SRM Data\Database\Web Publishing and the directory you defined.
• By using the Delete Web Publishing Files option in the Folder pop-up menu, the Object pop-up menu, or the User View pop-up menu. This option can also be used to delete Web Publishing files even if the Web Publishing destination was previously removed from the User View. This option does not delete the User View.

  Note: When you specify that Web Publishing files are to be published to a directory other than the default directory (\BrightStor SRM Data\Database\Web Publishing); a copy is also output to the \BrightStor SRM Data\Database\Web Publishing directory. Subsequently if you want to delete all Web Publishing files produced by a User View then you need to specify both the default directory location of \BrightStor SRM Data\Database\Web Publishing and the other directories you specified in Web Publishing.
