I'm trying to clean out a bunch of files from the data base that were used during our pilot development. I have been able to delete quite a few but there are others I cannot delete. When trying to delete I get the message part has child or document has parent. I removed these parts from all packets. I tried looking for parents and children but have not found any. Is there something else I can do to delete these parts?

Through the default or standard WorkManager interface you should be able to first query for the original document/file and then do a structure query on that document for either the parent or child of the originating document. The parent/child and the originating document should then be placed into a packet and deleted from the database (parent first). Have you tried this??

Lynne, Yes I did try your method and it WORKED! Thank you very much, JimK.
