You can delete folders by using a right-click option. Deleting a folder does not remove its documents from OnBase. The documents remain available from other Document Retrieval methods.

To delete a folder, you must have sufficient privileges to the folder and its child folders. If you attempt to delete a folder containing a child folder that you lack privileges to delete, you cannot delete the parent folder or the restricted child folder(s). Child folders that you have privileges to delete are deleted.

Note:

Deleted folders can only be restored from Folder Maintenance by your system administrator.

  1. Right-click a folder and select Delete. This removes the folder, its child folders, and documents from the file cabinet.
  2. OnBase displays a warning message, indicating that the delete operation will remove data. To confirm deletion, click Yes. To cancel deletion, click No.
    CAUTION:

    Purging a batch process that was auto-foldered purges the empty folders created by the process—they are not sent to Folder Maintenance. Likewise, deleting a file cabinet purges all of the child folders, if the child folders are allowed to be deleted. The child folders are not sent to Folder Maintenance.
