Entries (folders or documents) can be deleted from ELO in two ways:

• Delete function
• End of retention period

Dynamic folders behave like normal folders.

Information: This only assigns entries a deletion marker, and does not delete them permanently. It is not possible to delete an entry permanently in the ELO Web Client. Deleted entries have to be removed from ELO permanently by an administrator. They can be restored until the point at which they are permanently deleted.

'Delete' function

Whether you can delete entries (folders or documents) depends on your permissions.

Steps

1. Select the entry you want to delete.

2. On the ribbon, click Organize > Delete.

The entry is no longer shown in ELO.

End of retention period

Depending on the settings, the entries (folders or documents) are automatically removed from ELO as soon as they have reached the end of their retention period.

You can enter the retention period in the metadata when filing a document.
