To remove Geodatasets Editor or Manager level access is required for the Exploratory Locations module (see Access Levels).
See here for how to check your current access level. See here for how to apply for a change in access level.
Removing a Geodataset is irreversible! Make sure you understand the implications before proceeding.
If you accidentally delete data, contact the System Administrator immediately.
Removing a Geodataset from GDMS means it will not longer be accessible on the system. The associated Exploratory Locations and the Geodata File will be removed at the same time, and it is not possible to remove these items individually.
To remove a Geodataset, first navigate to it's details page using one of the search tools.
Click Remove on the command bar, and a form will appear with the following items:
Removal Reason - Select the reason from the options.
Removal Comments - Optional free-text field for general notes.
Click Save, then you will be asked to confirm before the Geodataset is removed.
The Geodataset, Geodata File, Exploratory Locations and any Attached Files will all be removed by this process.
A linked Report will not be affected however and you will need to remove this separately if it is also erroneous/duplicated.
