Re: Removing Documents from Domino Database

Deleted documents not being deleted? That is strange and deos sound as if
something else needs to be checked. Check the ACL to verify that you have rights
to Delete Documents. It is possible that you set youself up as Manager, but the
Delete Documents option must be selected seperately.

That is the only thing I can think of at this time.

Also, to make sure that you are really deleting all the documents, you can
create a view that has a selection formula of @Select ALL. If they appear there,
you can be sure that if you delete them, they will be gone.
