Deleting attachments

We can delete an attachment if we are no longer using it. We cannot delete an attachment if it is associated with a business object, such as a catalog entry, category, or marketing content.


Before starting

To determine if an attachment is assigned to any business objects, view the attachment details. The properties view of the selected attachment displays the business objects that the attachment is assigned to in the References tab.


Procedure

  1. Open the Attachments tool.

  2. In the explorer view filter, select Attachments; then click the Attachments directory to display the list of attachments.

  3. In the Attachments - List view, select the attachment and click

    .


Results

The attachment is deleted. (Enterprise) Restriction: If we are working in an extended site store and the attachment to delete belongs to an asset store, we cannot delete the attachment unless we are authorized to access the asset store. When we are in an extended site store, the icon in the Type column for the attachment displays a small black square

to indicate that the attachment belongs to an asset store.
