Deleting an Existing Device Using the Administration Window

You can delete any of the existing devices from the Devices pane.

To delete an existing device using the Administration window:

1

Select the device in the Devices pane.

2

Control-click the device, then choose Delete from the shortcut menu.

A confirmation dialog appears.

3

Click Delete.

The device is removed from the device list.

Some things to keep in mind when deleting a device:

 You cannot undo a device deletion.
 Deleting a device removes it and all of its assets from the Final Cut Server catalog.

This includes removing all proxy files from the Proxy device and versions from the
Version device.

 Deleting a device does not affect the actual contents of the device’s volume.

Contentbase devices are an exception; deleting a Contentbase device deletes all of
its media as well.

 If a job is in progress when you delete the device, that job must be completed before

the device is actually deleted. (All other pending jobs are canceled.) If you do not
want to wait for the current job to finish, you can cancel it in the client’s Search All
Jobs window.

 Any responses or watchers that depend on the device you are deleting are also

deleted. Any schedules or other automations that used those responses are not
deleted. You must manually delete these items.
