Deleting Objects and Removing Document Files
The 
Actions menu offers the actions 
Delete and 
Remove document file in hit lists as well as in folder and object views. What is the difference between these two actions?
You need the appropriate rights for the Delete and Remove document file actions. If you not have these rights, these actions will not be listed in the actions menu.
Delete Action
The Delete action deletes a business object. Business objects in yuuvis® can be folders or documents, for example. Each business object has index data. Document objects can, but do not have to, contain a document file.
The Delete action therefore deletes the entire object – the index data, any document file that may be included, and any existing versions. Deleted business objects can only be restored by the administrator.
The situation is slightly different for the Remove document file action.
If it is not possible to delete one of the objects when deleting several objects, the action will be undone entirely and none of the objects will be deleted.
Remove document file Action
The Remove document file action is only offered for business objects with document files. During the action, only the document file is "removed," while the business object itself including its index data is retained.
Strictly speaking, the action creates a new version of the business object without a document file. If a business object has multiple versions, only the document file of the respective active version is "removed." The document files of older versions are not affected.
You can restore removed document files in the version view via the Actions menu > GENERAL > 
Restore version. Open the version view by navigating to Actions menu > GENERAL and clicking 
Show versions.
In the case of link documents and locked document files, some special features must be taken into account:
Deleting link documents
Document files of link documents cannot be removed because link documents cannot be edited (see Creating Link Documents). Link documents can only be deleted as business objects. If a link document is deleted, only the link document and its index data are removed while the source object remains unaffected.
Deleting locked document files and objects
Document files locked by other users cannot be removed. The associated business object cannot be deleted either, for as long as the locking user does not remove the lock.
Locked document files can be removed by the locking user. Similarly, business objects in locked document files can be deleted by the locking user.
Removing locked document files causes the lock to be lifted.
