Deleting assets

Your delete operations depend on how your user account is configured in GV STRATUS Control Panel. Delete buttons, menu items, and keyboard shortcuts are disabled if delete rights are denied. An asset with a child association (shallow copy) cannot be deleted. Deleting an asset with multiple high-resolution associations (deep copy) deletes the entire asset from multiple locations. A Media Manager has additional options to delete parts of an asset.

In an Asset List panel, right-click the asset you are deleting and select Delete.
A Delete Type dialog box opens. The dialog box for Media Managers offers additional options.
If you are not a Media Manager, select your options as follows:
- Entire Asset — Select this to delete the entire asset including online material and proxy. Archived material is not deleted.
- Online Material Only— Select this to only delete online material. Metadata, proxy, and archived material is not deleted.
If you are a Media Manager, select your options as follows:
- Entire Asset — Select this to delete the entire asset including online material, archived material, and proxy.
- Online Material — Select this to only delete online material of the asset on the K2 Summit/SAN system.
- Archived Material — Select this to only delete archived material of the asset on the archived system.
- Proxy — Select this to only delete the proxy of the asset.
Click OK or Delete.

The asset is deleted according to your selection. However, online material can only be deleted if the asset is not in use or referenced.
