If an item is no longer needed and no one is using it, you can delete it from the organization.
Item owners and organization administrators can delete items.
Tip:
Organization administrators can also delete items as part of managing the items of a specific organization member.
Before you delete
Consider the following before you delete an item from the organization:
- You should mark an item as deprecated before deleting it to allow people who are using the item time to find a replacement item.
- You must disable delete protection before you can delete an item.
- Most dependent layers must be deleted before you delete the hosted feature layer from which it was published.
Caution:
Once deleted, the item is no longer available.
Delete a single item
You can delete a single item from the item's page. Use this method if you need to disable delete protection before deleting the item.
- Sign in to the organization as the item owner or an administrator.
- Open the details page for the item and click the Settings tab.
- Disable delete protection for the item and click Save.
- Click Delete Item.
- Click Delete to confirm.
Delete multiple items
If the items don't have delete protection enabled, it is more efficient to delete multiple items from the Content page.
- Sign in to the organization as the item owner or an administrator.
- Open the Content page and click one of the following:
- If you own the items, click the My Contents tab. Click All My Content if items are in different folders or open the folder where the items are stored.
- If you are an organization administrator, click the My Organization tab.
- Ensure you're viewing contents in Table view.
- Check the box next to each item to be deleted and click Delete.
- Click Delete to confirm.
