Remove	Removes the selected MDI. Only for Summit MDI, the Delete Type dialog box displays. Select a delete type from these options below and click the Delete button. MDI Only - Deletes the Summit MDI only, but leaves all logical assets and data in the GV STRATUS database. The Summit MDI still appears under Locations node in the Navigator, but no changes can be made to the metadata. MDI with Special Group - Deletes the Summit MDI, moves all data of assets into a specially created group but no changes can be made to the metadata, and removes all high-resolution associations pointing to the deleted Summit MDI. The name of specially created group for the deleted MDI has an appended suffix in this format: MDI name_DELETED_Deletion date Note: If the Summit MDI is added back and appears under Locations, the specially created group remains under Groups until you manually remove it from the Groups node. MDI, Logical Assets, and Proxy Files - Deletes the Summit MDI, all assets and data in GV STRATUS database that map to the Summit MDI, and all proxy files. However, it leaves K2 Media intact on disk. Note: When adding back a previously deleted Summit MDI, make sure you use the same MDI name and port number to re-sync the MDI with all data in the GV STRATUS database.
