Deleting asset metadata
Deleting asset metadata
You may need to delete a metadata name, that is, remove it from all properties pages
when it becomes obsolete, or to repair a typographical error. There is no “delete
metadata” feature, however, metadata names are checked every time you close a
properties dialog box. If a metadata name is not being used, that is, no values are
entered for the metadata name on any asset properties page, the metadata name is
automatically deleted and removed from all metadata pages.
To delete a metadata name you just created:
1. In the asset Properties dialog box, click Data .
2. Select the metadata name you want to delete.
3. Click Clear .
4. In the Properties dialog box, click OK .
The metadata name is removed from all asset properties pages since no metadata
value exists for any asset.
To delete a metadata name already in use:
To completely purge a metadata name, you must clear the metadata value on all asset
properties data pages. When the last asset is cleared, and the properties dialog is
closed, the metadata name is purged and removed from all properties pages. Refer to
“Clearing metadata” on page 255 .
