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. If GV STRATUS security is enforced, your credentials must give you adequate permissions. If permission is restricted, buttons, list items, and other controls can be disabled or hidden. Bins and assets that do not allow read permissions are not visible.

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, metadata, and proxy. If one part of the asset is in use or blocked from deletion, no part of the asset will be deleted.
- Metadata Record — Select this to only delete the metadata of the asset.
- 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.
- Force Delete — Select this to delete the entire asset even if one part of the asset is in used by other users.
Click Delete.
If one or more of the assets you are deleting have child associations, the Delete Progress dialog box displays "...The asset is referenced...".

Proceed as follows to continue with the delete operation:
1. Click Resolve Errors.
  The Delete Type dialog box opens.
2. Select the asset you are deleting in the References drop-down list.
3. For each item that references the asset, select either Delete, Conform, or Unlink check box as follows:
  - Delete: Deletes the subclip or sequence that references the asset.
  - Conform: Conforms and saves the subclip or sequence that references the asset. Original subclips and sequences are deleted after the conform is complete.
  - Unlink: Unlinks the reference to EDIUS sequence, EDIUS Project bin, or STRATUS EDL. For EDIUS, the asset will no longer be part of the EDIUS sequence and removed from the EDIUS Project bin. For STRATUS EDL, the asset will no longer be included as an event in the STRATUS EDL when you view it in the Simple Editor tool.
  Note: You cannot delete an asset referenced to EDIUS or STRATUS EDL if it is still linked to the sequence, project bin, or EDL. The Delete button is disabled if the Unlink check-box is not selected.
Click Delete.
A red icon displays on the Asset List to indicate that the asset is being deleted.

If the asset is dragged into the Inspector while being deleted, the viewer displays the message: This Item is Being Deleted

The asset is deleted according to your selection. However, online material can only be deleted if the asset is not in use (for example, if the asset is loaded in a K2 Summit channel).
