Delete files from document warehouse
In eTMF, the Document Warehouse tab is mainly used for the temporary storage of some unorganized files so that, upon request, they can be organized by data managers (DM) and other accountable individuals per DIA RM and uploaded to the Essential Documents storage.
If a document is no longer needed, you can delete it to keep your document warehouse uncluttered and up to date.
Tip
The files are permanently deleted from the Document Warehouse and not stored in the Trash folder. Thus, they cannot be restored.
You can delete only the files uploaded by you or all files, depending on whether you have the Write All Files permission granted to your user role via the ADMIN application.
