Delete a Web content library
When a Web content library is no longer required, you can delete the library.
- You must be an administrator to delete Web content libraries.
- A library cannot be deleted if there are references to items in the library being deleted from items in other libraries.
- A library is only deleted on the current server. If syndicating to other servers, delete each library on each server separately.
- To prevent any changes being made to items stored in a library, but would like those items to still appear on a rendered site, you should disable the library instead.
- You should backup your library before deleting it.
- Do not shut down your server during deletion as this will corrupt the library. Reinstall your library from your backup if this happens.
- Deleting a library is an intensive process and will increase the load on your server. An less load intensive alternative to deleting a library is disabling a library. See Disabling a Web content library for further information.
To delete a library:
- Go to Administration > WebSphere Portal > Portal Content > Web Content Libraries
- Click
on the library you would like to delete.
- Click System Reports to open a list of library deletion reports.
- Click on the latest report to review the library deletion.
Items that were previously deleted but not purged from the library are not included in the "total items deleted successfully" count.
