Delete a Document

Remove a document you don't want or need anymore.

Deleting a document immediately and permanently removes it from the library and deletes all its versions. You can also choose to delete only specific versions while keeping the rest of the document.

Delete document and delete version actions cannot be undone. In all cases, you have the option to keep the underlying Confluence pages.

What Gets Deleted?

When you select a document to be deleted from the library:

• All metadata about that document is deleted

• The document is completely removed from all screens, including the library

• The document isn’t recognised as a document in Confluence anymore.

You can also decide to delete the page tree associated to that document or document version. When that option is checked, all Confluence pages associated with the selected document versions are also deleted.
