Request A File To Be Deleted

If you, as a data manager, wish a file to be deleted from the NDR, this request must be submitted using the Submit Edits workflow. 

Use the empty "Comments" text box at the bottom of the form stating that you wish the file to be deleted and why. If you use the specific word "delete" within these comments this should happen automatically within 24hrs.

Requests for deletion of uploaded files not received through the edit request form will not be accepted.

When a file is requested to be deleted, all instances of that file within the NDR (based on their SHA512 number, not filename) will also be deleted.

If you wish to load the file to another ProjectID you must first wait until the delete edit request has been completed, otherwise the file will also be deleted.

You can make a very minor change to a file contents, for example, add a space, this will change its SHA512 number and the file can then be loaded at any time.
