Deleting an object does not permanently remove the object.
It simply marks the object as deleted, and stops users from being
able to edit it. To permanently remove the object, you must purge
it once you have deleted it.
Before you begin
To prevent broken links being left in the database, any in-links
must be removed before the object can be deleted. If the object has
descendants, the descendants are also deleted. Any in-links to the
descendants must be deleted before the parent object can be deleted.
About this task
When you delete an object that has an out-link, the link
is not deleted until you purge the object and save the module.
To
delete, undelete or purge an object, you must have delete access to
the object and to all objects in the tree below it.
Note: You
cannot delete or purge objects that have descendants if sorting is
turned on.
Procedure

to delete, undelete or purge. If you cannot see deleted
