Delete a Repository

Direct Members can delete empty Repositories. If the Repository contains registered DOIs, the Direct Member must first transfer the DOIs to another Repository.

Once remaining DOIs have been transferred, go to the Repositories tab of the Direct Member dashboard. Select the Repository to go to the Repository dashboard.

Go to the Settings tab and click the "Delete" button on the left.

Type the Repository ID in the box to confirm and click "Delete". This action cannot be undone.

🚧

Repositories with DOIs can't be deleted

You will not be able to delete a Repository that contains DOIs. When you click "Delete", you will instead see a warning asking you to first transfer all DOIs to another Repository:

Click "Transfer DOIs" to initiate the DOI transfer. See Transfer DOIs Between Repositories for more information.
