Delete a directory or file in the Catalog Manager

Sometimes it is difficult to delete a directory or file in the Catalog manager. Mostly there is a problem with permissions. To delete a directory or file, follow these steps:

  • open Catalog Manager
  • open the rpd online
  • go to the file or directory
  • click right mouse button
  • click Properties

Catalog Manager directory properties

  • select the admin-user as Owner
  • check Apply Recursively
  • click OK

In most cases, the ownership is not applied recursively! So, go through the subdirectories and files to check if the owner is the admin-user everywhere. If not, then apply the last 5 steps above on the other subdirectories.

If the owner is the admin-user in all subdirectories and files, then go further with the next steps.

  • select the directory again
  • click right mouse button
  • click Permissions

Catalog Manager directory permissions

  • move the admin user or Administator role to the left
  • set Permission to Full Control
  • check Apply Recursively
  • select Replace Option Replace All
  • click OK

Catalog Manager directory apply recursively

  • click OK
  • select the directory again
  • click right mouse button
  • click Delete

Catalog Manager - Delete

  • confirm the deletion by clicking Yes

The directory is gone!

Solution:

  • open Catalog Manager
  • open the rpd online
  • derive the path that is not found in the screenshot text (in our case it is _selections)
  • decide if this directory may be deleted
  • if it may be deleted, then select the directory _selections

Catalog Manager - Delete

  • click right mouse button
  • click Delete

If the directory is succesfully deleted, the message will not be displayed in the Enterprise Manager and log-files again.

Note: when there is a problem with deleting, see the post Delete a directory or file in the Catalog Manager
