Deletion of data sets in LACO-Wiki
It is now possible to delete a data set uploaded to LACO-Wiki along with all the associated files, i.e., sample collections, validation exercises and accuracy reports. Figure 21 shows an example of a data set that was uploaded and the Delete data set button at the bottom of the page.
Deleting a data set before any sample collections, validation exercises or accuracy reports have been created is straight forward and the data set will be removed from the list of data sets.
Once any sample collections, validation exercises or accuracy reports have been created, you need to decide whether you want to delete all the files (in which case you should check the box entitled Delete all associated files), or whether you only want to delete the data set and keep the associated files accessible, e.g., you may not want the data set to remain in LACO-Wiki but you would like to keep the accuracy report.
You should also note that if you have shared the data set with other users (or everyone), then you need to be aware that checking the Delete all associated files check box will also deleted any associated files that other users have created.
Deletion options are also available for individual associated files, e.g., if you create a sample collection from a data set, you can delete that sample collection while retaining the data set. Deletion options for different file types in LACO-Wiki are shown in Figure 22.
