Deleting Items
You can delete items in the database without permanently losing them. In this way you can still access these items via older Commits and Snapshots, without having to see them when you search the latest versions of items.
Deleting Models and Files
Select one or more models and files and click Delete () in the Item section of the Home toolbar to open the Delete Item dialog box. You can also press the Del key. The Location field shows the database, repository, and branch that the items will be deleted on. All items that will be deleted are shown in a table under Items.

Click OK to delete the items in the database.
As with all commits, the deletion targets a specific branch. If you have created other branches that include the selected items, the items will remain visible on those branches.
To find a previously deleted model or file, either set the searched location to a snapshot created before the item was deleted in The Model Manager Window, or find a commit in The Commits Window saved before the item was deleted, right-click it, and select Search in Commit (). In both cases you can find the item by searching on its title in the Model Manager window.
Deleting Tags
Select a tag and click Delete () in the Item section of the Home toolbar to open the Delete Tag dialog box. The Location field shows the database, repository, and branch that the tag will be deleted on. The Title field shows the title of the latest version of the title.
