Deleting marketing objects and subfolders from a folder

As a Marketing Manager, we can delete marketing content, customer segments, activities, e-Marketing Spots 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 Marketing 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 Marketing Objects List or

   Show Marketing Object Folders List.

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

   • Delete or remove the marketing object.

     • A dialog displays. Choose an option:

       Delete

       The marketing object is deleted from the folder and from your system.

       Remove

       The reference to the marketing object is deleted from the folder. The marketing object is not deleted.

   • Delete a folder - If you delete a folder, you delete the folder from your system. If the folder contained marketing 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 marketing object or subfolder no longer displays within the parent folder.
