Can't delete document set

Hi
I have system admin rights on a sharepoint installation and yet there is a document set in one particular sharepoint document library which I cannot delete - every time I try I get either an exception message or a message saying the item is read-only
and cannot be deleted. Is there any way to force the deletion?
Thanks

Hi,
I am glad to hear that the issue has gone.
According to your description, The user cannot delete a document set at the first.
It may be result from the documents which were checked out by another user in the document set .
The user is able to delete the document set the next day.
It should be the checked out documents were checked in by another user n the document set .

  • How can I delete Documents from the KD?

    The documentation regarding deleting documents is poor! Can someone show me how to do this programmatically? I've been trying something like the following Web Service below:
    <WebMethod(Description:="This function will retrieve delete specified documents by CardID from the Plumtree Knowledge Directory. Excepts Plumtree CardIDs As ArrayList, Returns a Boolean (Success/Failure).")> _
    Public Function PTDocDelete(ByVal PTCardIDs As ArrayList) As Boolean 'Instantiate Plumtree Remote Session Dim IPTRemoteSession As IRemoteSession IPTRemoteSession = RemoteSessionFactory.GetExplicitLoginContext(New System.Uri("http://mymachineName.com/ptapi/QueryInterfaceAPI.asmx"), "Administrator", "")
    'Query the Plumtree Document Manager passing in the Folder ID Dim PTDocumentManager As IDocumentManager = IPTRemoteSession.GetDocumentManager() Dim i As Integer
    Dim arrPTCardIDs As Array arrPTCardIDs = PTCardIDs.ToArray() 'Convert ArrayList to a 1-Dimensional Array
    Try 'Loop throught the CardIDs and Delete them For i = arrPTCardIDs.GetLowerBound(0) To arrPTCardIDs.GetUpperBound(0) PTDocumentManager.RemoveDocuments(arrPTCardIDs(i)) Next Catch pe As PortalException Return False 'Failure! End Try
    Return True 'Success!
    End Function

    You mean the Photo Library? You delete pics that were synced to your phone the same way they got there, through the iTunes sync process. Remove the checks next to the albums/folders that were synced to your phone, hit the apply/sync button & they will be removed from your phone. The only pics that can be deleted directly on your phone are pics in your camera roll.
    If you mean delete the Photo Library itself, you can't delete that. All photos synced to your phone reside in the Photo Library...the various albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos, which are in your Photo Library. They are not duplicates. This is similar to the way that iPhoto on a Mac organizes photos.

  • How can I use Document Set description field in a SharePoint workflow

    We bundle together related documents into a Document Set and then route the Document Set for approval using a Sharepoint 2010 workflow.  Within the workflow, we are also sending an email to each approver, and an email to a manager if items become past
    due.  I have been asked if I can add the Description field from the Document Set to the email text.
    I am familiar with the use of the "Add or Change Lookup" control to insert fields into the email text.
    For example: Data Source "Current Item" with field "Title" becomes
    [%Current Item:Title%].
    The problem is that I can't find a data source that will pull in the Document Set description.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to use Document Set description field in a SharePoint workflow.
    I recommend to modify the view to display the description field.
    If you add the description, it will display the value.
    Then you can create workflow as below:

  • Can't delete or set delete flag on PP order

    I want to delete a PP order and it tells me that I cannot select selected assembly order xxxxxx for deletion. The status of the order is REL  MSPT PRT  PRC  RESA SETC.   The production order has no goods movements associated with it , yet I can not delete the line or set the deletion flag.

    John,
    I see RESA status meaning that previously WIP run has happenned and system would have posted WIP. I would suggest you to first set TECO status to the order, and then Run KKAX transaction then you need to run KO88 to settle the costs to sales order. Once this is done settle the sales order after making TECO status to the sale order item and then you can Reject the sale order Item. This would allow you to perform the Deletion Flag to the order(I think system will automatically set "DLFL" status to the order).

  • Can NOT delete Document?

    I can't delete a doc. named ".DS_Store". It has now shown up in almost all my files. I put it in the trash and it pops back up on my desk top or file I'm trying to remove it from. I secure empty the trash and it gone from the trash but remains in all the files & desktop. It is different sizes too, from 24KB to 16KB. I can't open it either. The creation date changes too. Earliest I've found is Aug 16 2008 and the latest is last night when I trashed it last. I haven't noticed any changes other than that document just sitting on my desktop and at the top of most of my files. Is there a way to remove this?

    Do NOT delete this document. It is an important meta data document that helps Mac OS X know among other things how to organize files in the Finder. If it got visible, ignore it, and turn off whatever system you are using that renders invisible documents visible so you don't accidently delete files you need.

  • I can't delete document

    hi when I try to delete any document it won't delete...

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Can i delete documents on my computer after back up to time capsule

    I have installed the Time Capsule (correctly I think) but now I want to delete some information on my computer so it runs faster.  How can I ensure that my documents and pictures are backed up to the Time Capsule so I am able to retrieve them later?

    You might want to remember that Time Machine....if that is what you used to backup your Mac.....backs up the changes on your Mac.
    If you delete a file on your Mac, at some point....Time Machine will delete the file as well.....you just do not know when this may occur.
    Even if you decide that you want to gamble and think that it may take some time for Time Machine to get around to deleting the file from your backup on the Time Capsule, the only copy of the file that you have is now on the Time Capsule.
    If the Time Capsule drive has a problem, you have no other copy or backup of the file, so you will lose the file.
    So, I would only do what you ask about with files that I could afford to lose.
    The whole idea about backups is that you have a copy of a file on one disk and a backup on another. If one drive...either your computer or the Time Capsule has a problem, at least you have the other copy of the file on the other drive.

  • Can't delete document

    I cannot delete a document after a jam situation or other printing problem. Usual procedure is followed to no avail. Have uninstalled and reinstalled but it's a lot of hassle and shouldn't be necessary.

    so the print jobs are stuck in the queue? if yes, then have you tried running the Print Diagnostic Utility from hp.com to see if it clears it? this that first. if it doesnt help, then try these steps:
    1: open the Printers folder.
    2: open a command prompt by typing 'cmd' in Start Search in the start menu and then pressing 'enter' key.
    3: in the command prompt window, type 'net stop spooler'. you should get a message saying 'the print spooler service was stopped successfully'.
    4: once you get this message, "refresh" the Printers page. now all printer icons should disappear. but dont worry.
    5: in the command prompt window, type 'net start spooler'. you should get a message saying 'the print spooler service was started successfully'.
    6: once you get this message, "refresh" the Printers page. now all printer icons should re-appear and the document should have gone away.
    if it doesnt go away, then try to delete it once again and repeat steps 3-6 till it goes away. this has worked for me almost all the time.
    or else, you can try right clicking on the printer icon and select 'Run As Administrator'(if it is available), and then click on Cancel All Documents. this works sometimes also(Vista only).
    Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

  • Can not delete "documents" folder in iphone photo album

    I don't know how it happened but I opened my photo album recently and noticed that there is a roll in there called "Documents". When I open it there are several photos, one of which is a document on how to use windows fax and scan, a few others are generic windows desktop photos and a few others are from a website I designed a long time ago. My suspicion is that it's from the airsharing app i used to have.
    I am not able to delete these documents. Anyone have any idea how to get rid of them? Hopefully without a reset of my phone.
    I included a picture here:

    Thanks for the help!

    Did you try to copy the folder to another place and delete it afterwards in the photo album on your pc and apply a sync?

  • Difference Btwn Trash Can and Red Minus Sign when Deleting Documents

    Hello, can someone please confirm for me the technical difference between the Trash Can button and the Red Minus sign button in the Documentation tabs? For instance, does the red minus sign delete the document from the project whereas the trash can also removes the document from the Knowledge Warehouse database? Also, how does this translate to deleting links to documents from the documentation tabs?
    Thank you,
    M. Neal

    Hello Megan,
    1. Trash can icon indicates basically as you stated it: With this button you can physically delete documents from the Knowledge Warehouse. Before doing so, however, the system automatically checks if the document to be deleted is still used by any other element in a structure, let's say another process (where-used). If so, you first have to detach this document from the affected processes - which takes us to the red minus icon.
    2.  Red minus icon: This translates to removing your document assignment from the documentation tabs (so basically to deleting document links). The document is not physically deleted - it stays in the Knowledge Warehouse database and can be re-assigned - if needed.
    I hope this answers your questions.
    Best regards,
    Doreen Baseler

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to you want to get document set property value in a SharePoint library and then export into a CSV file using PowerShell.
    I suggest you can get the document sets properties like the PowerShell Command below:
    [system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sharepoint")
    $siteurl="http://sp2013sps/sites/test"
    $listname="Documents"
    $mysite=new-object microsoft.sharepoint.spsite($siteurl)
    $myweb=$mysite.openweb()
    $list=$myweb.lists[$listname]
    foreach($item in $list.items)
    if($item.contenttype.name -eq "Document Set")
    if($item.folder.itemcount -eq 0)
    write-host $item.title
    Then you can use Export-Csv PowerShell Command to export to a CSV file.

  • Create Document Set with custom Create Only permission set

    Here is the situation. We have a requirement where my customer wants to create document sets, however, document set/document level permissions are required.
    Setup: We created a new permission level called "Create Only". We then give the user Read and Create only permissions. This allows the user to theoretically create the item. We then run a Workflow on create that Replaces the permissions so that
    you are only allowed to view the ones you created along with other security groups based on their choices in the metadata fields.
    This setup works PERFECTLY when using a List or Form Library.
    However, for the life of me I cannot get it to work for Document Sets. If I have the same setup, I get an Access Denied message. However, it still creates the document set.
    What is weird, I've been playing around with custom permission levels and it seems as though the user has to have EDIT permissions at a minimum in order to create the document set. This will not work for me since I dynamically assign permissions to each
    document set based on what they select.
    As a side note, the only tool I have at my disposal is SharePoint Designer 2010.
    Does anyone know if there is an actual requirement to have EDIT permissions when creating a Document Set? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Alternatively, is there a way to setup permissions on a library for all NT Authenticated users so that we can give them the necessary permissions to create the Document Set, but still prevent them from see the other items and then the Workflow would set
    the permissions accordingly?
    I believe the more granular the permissions it uses those permissions instead so would this work?  I have not tested this theory yet.

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to know if there is an actual requirement to have EDIT permissions when creating a Document Set and is there a way to setup permissions on a library for all NT Authenticated users and prevent
    them from seeing items created by others.
    For the first question, per my knowledge, if a user is given the Add Items permission, he/she can create a document set in SharePoint.
    However, there is an error “access denied” after the document set is created. It is due to the user has no permission to access the page which SharePoint will redirect the user to after finishing creating the document set.
    If the user is also given Edit Items permission, there will be no error when he/she create a document set.
    For the second question, I recommend to follow the link below to
    customize item permissions for each document submitted to a document library and remember to give the
    NT Authenticated users contribute permission.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/spke/archive/2010/04/09/configure-item-level-permissions-for-document-libraries-sharepoint-2010-edition.aspx
    To grant permission to NT Authenticated users, please refer to the link below:

  • How to hide a column from document set?

    I have a document set in which i want to hide one of the columns, how do i proceed? is there any out-of-the-box features available? I want to show the column in main library view but not in document set. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ramanjulu Naidu N

    You can hide the column in the content type to stop it showing in forms.
    Or you can go into Document Set settings (via the library settings page) to stop it being displayed on the Document Set homepage. 
    Does this cover the hiding you wanted to do?
