The DM Manage Attachments form displays.
2. Select the Delete tab.
3. Enter the directory to delete documents from in the Delete attachments with the following path field. Optionally, click the Browse button to locate the appropriate directory.
4. (Optional) Check the Include Subfolders box to delete all documents in the specified directory’s subfolders, if any exist.

   Note: If you checked the Retain deleted attachments box in DM Attachment Options, the system saves the document, but removes all links and indexes. You can search for these deleted documents using DM Attachment Index Search. Deleted documents display in the grid with a current state of "Deleted." If you are deleting a document in a "deleted" state, the system displays a warning stating it will purge the "deleted" document. Click Yes to completely purge the document from the system.
