Deleting a Library

Over time, libraries can accumulate that are no longer needed. You might want to delete them because they consume space or because corporate policy dictates that communications be kept for only a set period of time.

In the following exercise, you will delete a library that is no longer in use.

OPEN the SharePoint site in which you’d like to delete a library. If prompted, type your user name and password, and then click OK.

BE SURE TO verify that you have sufficient rights to delete a library. If in doubt, see the Appendix on page 435.

1. In the Document area on the Quick Launch, click the library you would like to delete, such as Purchase Orders. The Purchase Orders form library appears.

2. Under Actions, click Form Library Settings. The Customize Purchase Orders page appears.

3. Under Permissions and Management, click Delete this form library.

4. When the warning box appears stating that the library will be permanently deleted, click OK.

You are returned to the All Site Content page.
