Best Practice to Delete a File Cabinet in DocuWare Cloud

Question:
What is the best way to delete a DocuWare File Cabinet from my Cloud system?

Answer:
It is not recommended to delete a file cabinet that still has documents in it. Doing so will cause the documents to become orphaned in the database and will not free up any storage space.
Note: If a file cabinet is deleted with orphaned documents, a recovery fee is charged to reinstate it.

The recommended method for deleting a file cabinet in the cloud would be as follows:

1. First, delete all documents within the file cabinet. You can do this manually (100 at a time) by selecting all documents on the page of a result list (CTRL + A), right-clicking, and then selecting "Delete"
   
   
   
   Note: Another option you have is to configure a DocuWare Deletion Policy that will automatically purge documents. (How to Create a Deletion Policy) 
    
2. Once the documents from the file cabinet have been deleted, access the cabinet's Recently Deleted recycle bin, right-click any entry, then select Pernentatly delete all.
   For more information on accessing and using the recycle bin, please see KBA-37164.
   
    
3. You'll then want to remove any association to trays, roles/groups, or users, which can be done via the configurations page. (Where To Find These Associations)
    
4. Once all of the above has been completed, the file cabinet will be ready to be deleted without leaving behind any orphaned documents.
