Delete List

This content applies to legacy design tools (such as K2 Studio, K2 for Visual Studio, or the Silverlight-based K2 workflow design tool). If you have upgraded from K2 blackpearl 4.7 to K2 Five, these tools may still be available in your environment. These legacy tools may not be available in new installations of K2 Five. These legacy tools may also not be available, supported, or behave as described, in future updates or versions of K2. Please see the legacy component support policy for more information about support for these components.

What does it do?

The Delete List wizard deletes a list from any SharePoint Site Collection in the organization.

How is it used?

A business workflow may close a list containing orders (list items) from several years past, when those records are no longer needed.

Wizards can be edited. For more information see Edit Wizards.

Select the list reference or browse to a list.

Field Description Sample Value
List Use this option if a reference was created earlier in this workflow for the List. Click the drop-down list to select the reference name.
Site Collection

If no reference is available, browse to the item on a registered SharePoint Site Collection. The Site Collection field is populated with the default Site Collection.

Choose a site collection from the available site collections that have the K2 for SharePoint app registered. If there is only one it is auto-selected.

Clicking Next after this option was used, an additional page will open to specify filters if required. See theSpecify Filters section.

If Browse to list was selected on the Specify List screen of the wizard, set the filters to determine which list should be deleted.
