Delete project items

 

It is a good idea to make a backup copy of your project before you delete project items from your project.

If you accidentally delete a project item, use the 'undo' function to reverse your action. If you are working in a server project, you can only undo changes that do not conflict with another user's actions.

To delete a project item:

  1. In Navigation View, click the name of the folder that contains the item you want to delete.

  2. In the List View, click the item you want to delete.

  3. On the Home tab, in the Editing group, click Delete.

  1. Click Yes to confirm.

NOTE  

  • If you are working in a server project, you cannot delete a source or map that another user has open in edit mode.

  • If you delete a source, then any annotations, see also links and coding references associated with the source are also removed.

  • If you delete a node, then any coding references associated with the node are also removed.

  • If you delete a source classification, then any sources with that classification are no longer classified, and their attribute values (for example, bibliographical information about your sources) are removed. (NVivo Pro and Plus only)

  • If you delete a case classification, then any cases with that classification are no longer classified, and their attribute values (for example, demographic information) are removed.
