Failed to delete space error

Hi,We're trialling the Community edition v4.2.c internally just to see how it works. So far it's working out pretty well for the support team and I can see how we can progress. A little filtering of permissions later just to remove the Everyone group from all the relevant places and we're all good

Have you tried searching for the site and pressing the "delete" button ?

http://localhost:8080/share/page/site-finder

I think this is the right way to delete a Site and it should work. You shouldn't be doing it from Alfresco Explorer (the embeded old JSF based interface).

Bye.

You can not delete site from Alfresco Explorer.It is managed by alfresco share.You have to delete it from share interface.

yeah but if content is locked by another user he cant delete the site at share.. all i know is that he has to unlock the node with alfresco explorer. after that it is possible to delete a site with share.

Yes.

If you really want, you can disable the policy that prevents deletion via explorer however if you look back in these forums you will see the problems that people got into prior to that little safeguard.

So… I created a site with /alfresco and have moved, taken ownership, modified a "site" using both /share and /alfresco in unsuccessful attempts at deleting it.

Will disabling the policy and re-enabling it after delete cause any problems? Assuming that's my problem.
Is there another work-around to get rid of a site/folder and all sub-folders/documents/content?

IMHO …If creating a site should NOT be done using the embedded /alfresco interface perhaps that option should be removed from that interface…

Should this be requested in Jira?

But I am learning that you should NOT.
