74 Part I Installation and Configuration
Deleting an Existing Device
You can delete any of the existing devices by using the Delete button ( - ) of the
Final Cut Server System Preferences Devices pane.
Important: If you have created devices using the client’s Administration window, they
should appear in the Devices pane list (except for Contentbase devices). If any are
missing, you can lock and then unlock the pane to refresh the list.
To delete an existing device using System Preferences:
1 Select the device in the Devices pane.
2 Do one of the following:
 Press the Delete key.
 Click the Delete ( - ) button.
A dialog appears warning you that all pending jobs will be canceled and that this
deletion cannot be undone. Additionally, it lists how many responses and watchers are
going to be deleted in addition to the device.
3 Click OK.
The device is removed from the device list.
The following are some things to keep in mind when deleting a device:
 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.
Note: If the deleted device contained many assets that were in the Final Cut Server
catalog, it might take a significant amount of time for the delete operation to finish.
You cannot continue working with System Preferences until the delete completes.
 Deleting a device does not affect the actual contents of the device’s volume.
 If a job involving the device is in progress when you delete it, 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.
 If you used Device Setup Assistant to add scans to a device, the schedules and
responses created for those scans are also deleted when the device is deleted.
