Deleting MIME Types

Unlike inactivating MIME types, deletion is permanent and affects associated items. You cannot import files that have extensions associated with a deleted MIME type.

For items associated with a deleted MIME type, the text “unknown file type” is displayed instead of MIME type icons. When users open these items, they are prompted to select a program executable.

You can delete MIME types that you define; however, you cannot delete built-in EPM Workspace MIME types.

  To delete MIME types:

  1. Select Navigate, then Administer , then Reporting and Analysis, and then MIME Types.

  2. Click Delete next to a MIME type.
