Hard Deletions

Overview

Deleting Content can be done in two methods, soft delete and hard delete.

Soft Delete: The selected workspace is deleted from CAM only, but the icon is greyed out in CAM so if it is restored it can be brought back into the system.
Hard delete: Delete content from CAM and the external system. This deletes the item from CAM (leaves an empty row in the Directory page) and then deletes it from the external system. You don’t have to use the iManage trash with this option if you don’t have it enabled. There are two types of hard deletions:
- Hard Delete without content: The selected workspace is deleted from the CAM and the external system, and the documents within the workspace are moved to a flat space.
- Hard Delete with Content: The selected workspace is deleted from the CAM and external system along with documents within the workspace
