Filesets

Permalink
Hi,

Is it possible to delete multiple filesets at the same time?

I have a number of filesets I want to delete, and so trying to find a way to do this in bulk, and quickly.

Currently having to do this 1-by-1 and then having to find the filesets again to delete 1 at a time. Very time consuming :-(

Many thanks.

You can do it in the database, look at the FileSets table, select all those you want to delete and at the bottom of the page choose 'delete'
But before doing that, export your database in case you need to restore it again..

NOTE. This will not delete the files in the fileset just the fileset itself.
Any files that were in the filesets will still be available in the file manager, just not in a fileset..

Thank you for the reply, and highlighting how the delete works. We are fine if files are still present, as really just need to remove filesets for now.
