Purging a Deleted Document

Once a document has been deleted, an administrator level user will be able to navigate to the Deleted Documents view of the Documents module and, if desired, purge the document. Most deleted documents do not need to be purged from a study room unless necessitated by an internal SOP. However, some documents, such as those which contain PHI or PII, would likely be purged out of an abundance of caution. To purge a document, follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to the Deleted Documents view.
2. Locate the document that was deleted.
   • Documents are sorted by the user who deleted them and additional column selection and filtering are available as in other areas of the system.
3. Use the Purge option.
4. Provide a reason.
5. Press ‘Delete’ (See the screenshots below)
