Delete an archival description

<div="clearfix">

Click the Delete button in the button block
  1. Navigate to the description you want to delete.For more information on navigation in ICA-AtoM, see access content
  2. Click the delete button in the button block
  3. ICA-AtoM prompts you to confirm the delete request; click "OK"
  4. 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
