Delete Library Entries

Deleting a library record will cause the information to be irreversibly lost. There is no undo function for deleted library records. You cannot delete library entries from NIST library.

 

If you want to delete one or more records:

  1. Retrieve the record(s) you want to delete using any search.

  2. Select the record(s) you want to delete in the Database Manager Spreadsheet.

  3. Choose the Library | Delete item from the Library menu.

  4. When the Delete From Library window appears, review the spectra and structures carefully.

  5. If you want to delete all records at once that are displayed in Preview, choose the Delete without confirmation radio button. If you want to delete record by record, select the Confirm Each Spectra/Structure Pair Before Deletion radio button.

  6. Press the Delete button.

 

Note:

If you delete a record from a library, the ID numbers of records with a higher ID than the deleted record will be decremented. This means that if you delete one or more records, there will be no ID number gaps in the library.
