What about multiple links?

If only present in one repo (the normal case)
* Delete Artifact Version

If present in more than one repo:
* Delete Artifact Version (from internal)
* Delete Artifact Version (from some-other-repo)

Cheers,
Brett

After cleaning up the roles last week I started seeing the Delete Artifact
button in the left nav menu.

I was wondering, is there a reason we have this here instead of in the artifact information page? That would seem a bit more contextual than typing
in the information from the menu and hopefully simplify the action.


The patch was probably aiming for something like the upload artifact so it
was put in the navigation menu. I agree it makes more sense to put the
delete in the artifact info page. My only concern is if we're going to put it there, how would we know from which repository do we delete the artifact
from if the artifact resides in multiple repositories?
(I'm answering my own question hehe.. I guess we can either delete them in all the repositories OR we could provide a list of the repositories where the artifact resides so the users can choose where they want to delete the
artifact from?)



Does the action take care of deleting the POM and any classified artifacts
as well as the metadata?


Yep, all related artifacts are deleted. The cleanup consumers are also
executed after the delete so the database & index also gets cleaned up :)


Is there a way to delete just one classifier, etc.?


No, currently the delete artifact deletes the whole version directory.




Cheers,
Brett
