If you have Delete permissions, you can delete reports, folders, and external files in the report library. However, Delete, Edit, and Create permissions can be specific to a report or folder. For example, you might have Delete permissions for a specific report or a specific folder in the report library, but not for other reports or folders.

Deleting works differently for different report library items. The following information describes how the Deletefunction works with each item:

  • Report– A report can have many versions. When you delete a report, you are prompted to delete the current version or all versions. To select the version from a list, select the report, and then click Show Versionson the Viewmenu.

  • External File– When you delete an external file, you are prompted to confirm the deletion. External files do not have versions.

  • Folder– When you delete a folder, you are prompted to confirm the deletion. If you click Yes, the folder and all of its reports and external files are deleted.
