Acquia DAM (Widen)
How do I delete metadata types?
To delete a metadata type, you will need to submit a request to the DAM Customer Support team. Before doing so, complete these steps to make sure the metadata type is no longer used in the Acquia DAM.
Complete an Advanced Search on the Metadata Type that you want to remove to find any assets that still have the metadata type assigned and batch edit to change that Metadata Type.
If the Archived Assets feature is on and assets are archived, these same steps must be completed using an Archived Asset Search
If assets are in a conflicted state, they must be resolved so no conflicts exist with the Metadata Type assigned at upload
Any lost assets must be permanently deleted
Any Pending Delete assets assigned to the metadata type to remove need to be either Restored and changed, or permanently deleted
Go through Upload Profiles, locate any usage of Metadata Type to remove and change it to another Metadata Type
In the Metadata Type to be removed, remove all associated metadata fields
Review your Upload Profiles, locate any usage of the metadata type you plan to remove, and change it to another metadata type.
Remove any metadata fields that are associated with only this metadata type.
