Deleting Commerce Composer objects and subfolders from a folder

We can delete content pages, layouts, or subfolders from a folder.

Before beginning

(Enterprise) If we are using extended sites, ensure that you understand how folders work in extended sites. See Folders in extended sites.

Procedure

1. Open the Commerce Composer tool.

2. In the explorer view, locate and select the folder containing the subfolder or object that we want to delete. The contents of the folder displays in the main work area. Tip: We can view a list of objects or a list of folders within the folder or directory. Click the

   Show Layout List or Show Content Page List to display the list of objects within the folder. Click the

   Show Layout Folders List or Show Content Page Folders List to display the list of subfolders.

3. Right-click the object or folder to delete; click Delete.

   • Delete or remove the content page or layout.

     • A window opens. Choose an option:

       Delete

       The content page or layout is deleted from the folder and from your system.

       Remove

       The reference to the content page or layout is deleted from the folder. The content page or layout is not deleted.

   • Delete a folder - If you delete a folder, you delete the folder from your system. If the folder contains any Commerce Composer objects, the objects are deleted from the folder. The objects continue to exist in your system and in any other folders that include the objects.

   We can also delete a subfolder from a parent folder within the properties view of the subfolder by removing the folder entry in the Parent Folder table. Removing this entry makes the subfolder a top-level folder.

4. Verify that the Commerce Composer object or subfolder no longer displays within the parent folder.
