Deleting Files and Folders

To delete a folder, follow these steps

To delete a folder in a coLab project room, you must be an enaio® user and have the appropriate rights to delete folders in enaio® folders or registers in the location of the coLab root object.

In enaio® coLab, open the project room in which you wish to delete a folder by clicking the tile of the required project room on the Project rooms home screen.

If you selected the Slim, Slim +, or Horizontal menu type, you first have to click the Home icon in the main navigation before you can click the Project rooms icon in the submenu that opens.
If you selected the Overlay menu type, you first have to click the Main navigation icon in the coLab header before you can click the Project rooms icon in the main navigation bar that opens.
You can find more information about the menu types that are available at Customizing the User Interface.
Open the settings view in the project room by clicking the Settings icon in the main navigation.
On the General tab, click one of the two links to open the location of the root object.
1. Users of enaio® client, enaio® webclient as a desktop application, or enaio® mobile should click Download reference file (*.os).
  
  enaio® webclient does not support *.os reference files.
  
  Depending on the browser configuration, a dialog will appear for filing an *.os reference file in the local file system or for editing using locally installed applications.
  
  Click the Open button in the browser dialog.
  
  As an alternative, you can save the *.os reference file in the local file system and double-click to open it there.
  
  The enaio® application installed on your computer (enaio® client, enaio® webclient as a desktop application, or enaio® mobile) opens and shows the location of the root object.
2. Users of enaio® webclient should click Jump to enaio® webclient.
  
  enaio® webclient opens in a new browser tab, and the location of the root object is shown.
Depending on the configuration of your operating system, you may need to log in to enaio®.
In the open location, delete the folder or the register.
Go to enaio® coLab in the corresponding project room and, once there, in the files view.

The folder or register deleted in enaio® is no longer shown in the directory structure of the project room in enaio® coLab.

To delete files directly in enaio® coLab, follow these steps

Project room owners and project members with a corresponding user-based role can delete files in the Files icon Files view. Standard project members and project members with the Guest role are not allowed to delete files in enaio® coLab.

You can delete a file by clicking the Delete file icon behind the corresponding file in the directory structure in the files view. After confirming the confirmation dialog, the file is deleted and no longer shown in the directory structure. Depending on the object type, the file, the document variant, the location data, and/or the document link will be deleted in enaio® (see Special Features of enaio® Object Types).

If a document is checked out in enaio®, then it cannot be deleted in enaio® coLab. coLab users who try to do this will receive a message with a note. The document cannot be deleted in enaio® coLab until it has been checked in again in enaio®.
