Delete a Repository

It is possible for a Member to delete one of their Repositories.

If the Repository has registered DOIs, the Member must first transfer the DOIs to another Repository managed by the same Member.

After any remaining DOIs have been transferred, go to the Repository tab of the Member dashboard and click on the name of the Repository you wish to delete.
