Deleting a Clinical Component

Problem

You want to delete an existing study or submission.

Solution

You can delete an existing clinical component from the Clinical Administration tree.

Note: You must have appropriate permissions to view the Clinical Administration tree. For more information, see Adding Users to the Clinical Administrators Group.

Tasks

To delete an existing clinical component, complete the following steps:

In the Clinical Administration tree, expand the Clinical Components folder. Expand the clinical component type that you want to delete.
Expand the Instances folder.
Right-click on the study or submission that you want to delete, and select Delete.
Click OK to confirm the deletion.

Note: The clinical component is deleted, but the associated folder and its contents are not. To delete the contents of the associated folder, view the Folders tree. Right-click on the folder that you want to delete, and click Delete. You cannot delete a folder if you do not have the correct permissions to delete it.

The reverse is also true. You cannot delete the root folder of a clinical component in the Folders tree unless you have first deleted the clinical component from the Clinical Administration tree.
