Deleting content from a destination

About deleting content

You can delete content that you distributed through ContentDirector by deleting it from the source directory. The next time the job for that source runs, the files you deleted from the source are ejected from NetCache.

The requirements for deleting content are:

You must delete the content from the source directory in ContentDirector.
The content must have originally been distributed by CD, not added to the NetCache by other means.
The content must not be locked in the cache.
Note
You cannot trigger an eject from NetCache for sources that specify only of a single file. The source must specify a directory to use this method. For this reason it is recommended to always create sources as directories rather than selecting specific files.

Procedure

To delete content from the source and from NetCache, complete the following steps:

Step	Action
1	Use the local file system on the core application machine to delete files from the source.
2	Run the job manually to trigger an immediate eject from NetCache, or wait until the next scheduled distribution event for the job. See An example of running a job for detailed instructions.
