Delete a Network Location
Populated Locations — Locations containing nested Locations or users — cannot be deleted. You will need to edit any nested Locations to un-nest them and edit any users to move them out of the Location before proceeding.
To delete a Network Location, navigate to the Network administration page, then:
- Hover over the Location you want to delete so that it is highlighted blue, then click the x icon that appears to its right.
- Click Delete in the resulting confirmation window.
- If the Location is not empty — if there are any nested Location or users in it — an error message will appear. Click OK. You will need to edit any nested Locations to un-nest them and edit any users to move them out of the Location.
What happens when you delete a Network Location?
When you delete a Network Location:
- The Location is permanently removed from Location drop-downs and filters and cannot be restored. You can no longer use it to filter Lists or Reports.
- Items that were associated with the Location keep it, but -DELETED is appended to the Location name. The next time you edit the Item's Location, you must select a different Location before saving.
- The deleted Location is removed from the profiles of inactive users who still have it assigned.
