Hi Helix84, Thanks for your reply . I have alredy tried the method you specified .
./dspace metadata-import -f items.csv ----------------------------------------------------------- Changes for item: 446 (xxxx/400) - EXPUNGE! 1 item(s) will be changed Do you want to make these changes? [y/n] y ----------------------------------------------------------- Changes for item: 446 (xxxx/400) - EXPUNGED! But when I am checking in xmlui GUI the item is still there !!! any idea why its still showing.
