To delete content from the library, you must be in the Library Reports interface. You cannot delete library content while in the Watch List interface. You can only delete content that you own.

Note: In the Library Reports interface, you can only delete the content that you own, whether you are a ReportCaster administrator or an end user. However, the ReportCaster administrator can delete library content through the Library Management tool. For more information on this tool, see the ReportCaster Administration manual.

The delete option (available from the right-click drop-down list or from the Delete icon in the toolbar) is only available for reports that you own, and for those items that can be deleted. For example, you cannot delete a report folder until you delete all of the content (report versions) under that folder.

When you delete a version of a report, ReportCaster does not renumber the remaining versions. For example, if there are six versions of a report and you delete versions 1, 2, and 4, the remaining versions are 3, 5, and 6, and the next version of this report to be distributed to the library will be version 7.

Note: A category remains in the Report Library until all versions of the report (or reports) in that category and the schedule (or schedules) that created the report (or reports) are deleted. If you delete all versions of the report (or reports) but do not delete the schedule (or schedules) that created the report (or reports), then the category will remain in the library.

When you delete a report that is on the Watch List, the Watch List interface still contains the report icon in the left pane, but rather than the report, a document icon with a red X appears in the right pane. This reminds you that a report is still on the Watch List even though there is no content currently available, and it also makes you aware of reports that you do not own that have been deleted.
