Main Page > (UM) User manual > UM-3 Add / edit content > UM3.1 Add / edit archival descriptions > UM-3.1.3 Delete an existing archival description
1. Navigate to the description you want to delete.
- For more information on navigation in ICA-AtoM, see in this manual: Access content.
2. Switch from view mode to edit mode by clicking the Record title bar or Edit button; this takes you to the record's Edit screen.
3. Click the Delete button in the Button block.
4. ICA-AtoM prompts you to confirm the delete request; click "OK".
5. ICA-AtoM deletes the record and returns you to the List screen.
6. Note the following consequences of deleting an archival description:
- If the record has lower-level descriptions registered to it (is a "parent record"), all the lower-level records are also deleted - e.g. if you delete a series, any sub-series, files or items that belong to the series will also be deleted.
- Any access points assigned to the description are 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.
