- Navigate to the description you want to delete.For more information on navigation in ICA-AtoM, see access content
- Click the delete button in the button block
- ICA-AtoM prompts you to confirm the delete request; click "OK"
- ICA-AtoM deletes the record and returns you to the parent record of the deleted description or to the browse page if the deleted record was a top-level description.
Consequences of deleting an archival description:
- If the record has lower-level descriptions registered to it, all the lower-level records are also deleted - i.e. if you delete a series, any sub-series, files, or items that belong to the series will also be deleted
- Any date events associated with the description are deleted
- The authority record of the associated creator is not deleted
- The archival institution record of the associated repository is not deleted
