Microsoft Windows Sharepoint Services Version 3. 0 Step by Step

Documents accumulate over time, and you eventually need to delete those that are no longer needed. In this exercise, you will delete a document that is no longer in use.

USE the practice file  Oakchest.docx in the practice file folder for this chapter. The practice file is located in the Documents\Microsoft Press\SBS_WSSv3\Chapter 05 folder.

BE SURE TO verify that you have sufficient permissions to check out, modify, and check in a document in the document library. If in doubt, see the Appendix on page 435.

OPEN the SharePoint site from which you’d like to delete a document. If prompted, type your user name and password, and then click OK.

1. From the Quick Launch, click Oak Furniture. The Oak Furniture document library appears.

2. Move your mouse over the document you would like to delete, such as  OakChest.docx. When an arrow appears to the right of the document name, click the arrow.

3. On the drop-down menu, click Delete.

4. In the dialog box that asks whether you are sure you want to delete, click OK. The document is moved into your Recycle Bin.

5. To recover your document, on the Quick Launch, click the Recycle Bin link.

6. Select the check box next to the  OakChest.docx document, and then click the Restore Selection link.
