Delete a site archive or report

Overview

• Requests over 120 days old are automatically deleted to maintain the storage servers.
• Site users can manually delete site-generated requests but cannot delete sponsor-generated ones.
• Requests shared by a sponsor and later deleted by the sponsor no longer appear on the Site Archives page even when Include Deleted Requests is clicked.

  Note:

  Deleted requests that required confirmation appear on the Site Confirmation tab with a status of Not Confirmed.

Follow these steps to manually delete a site-generated request.

1. Click Include Deleted Requests on the Site Archives page.
2. Set the File Type filter to Site Request, then click Search to retrieve a list of site-generated requests.

   Tip:

   If File Type is set to Audit Trail Report or User Assignment History, the search results include site and sponsor-generated reports. Use the Created By filter to narrow the results to those requests created by the site.
3. Click the check box to the left of a request, then click Delete.
   The Select Requests page opens.
4. Select the requests you want to delete from the list on the left, then use the arrows to move your selections to the Selected List table on the right. In some cases, the request has already been moved.

   Tip:

   Click the double arrow to move all requests.
5. Click Delete.

   WARNING:

   Deleting a request permanently removes all data files associated with the request. These cannot be retrieved after deletion. This is also true for requests automatically deleted after 120 days.
6. Click OK to confirm the deletion.
7. Click Include Deleted Requests to view deleted requests in the table.
   • Click the check box to the left of the Request Name to view the Request History, which includes the date and time of the deletion and the user name of the person who deleted the request.
   • Clicking the check box also enables the Show Settings button. This provides the settings used to generate the request.
   • Click the request name to open the Request Details page. Here, you can view the files (and associated details) generated for the request. These files can no longer be downloaded.
