Deleting a taxonomy permanently removes the taxonomy from the CentraSite. When you delete a taxonomy keep the following points in mind:
Before you attempt to delete a taxonomy, you must delete all of the categories underneath it.
You cannot delete a taxonomy if it is currently used to classify one or more objects.
You are not allowed to delete the predefined taxonomies provided by CentraSite (not even if you belong to a role with "Manage Taxonomies" permission).
To delete a taxonomy
In the CentraSite Control, go to to display the taxonomies list.
Enable the checkbox next to the name of the taxonomy that you want to delete.
Click .
When you are prompted to confirm the delete operation, click .
You can delete multiple taxonomies in a single step. The rules described above for deleting a single taxonomy apply also when deleting multiple taxonomies.
Important:
If you have selected several taxonomies where one or more of them
are predefined taxonomies, you can use the button
to delete the taxonomies. However, as you are not allowed to delete predefined
taxonomies, only taxonomies you have permission for will be deleted. The same
applies to any other taxonomies for which you do not have the required
permission.
To delete multiple taxonomies in a single operation
In CentraSite Control, go to to display the taxonomies list.
Mark the checkboxes of the taxonomies that you want to delete.
From the Actions menu, choose Delete.
When you are prompted to confirm the delete operation, click .
