If your user account has the System Administrator role, you can permanently delete a file in that collection, and associated metadata.
To delete a data file:
Run the following command:
dm_delete_datafile <file-path>
The following table describes each parameter:
Parameter Description <file-path>
A path within DME. Specify the data file that you want to delete. The system prompts you to confirm the deletion.
- Type Y and press Enter.
For example, the following command deletes a file named testfile10 in the /Example_Archive/downloads collection.
dm_delete_datafile /Example_Archive/downloads/testfile10
