How to permanently delete a document from the repository in iThenticate

If your organization has purchased a private repository for its iThenticate account and your iThenticate administrator has provided you with permission to submit to the repository, you will have the option to save a manuscript to the document repository upon submission.

Once a document has been saved in the repository, any subsequent documents submitted by users at your organization will be checked against it.

All users have the option to delete their own documents from their user accounts and the iThenticate private repository so that these can no longer be found as a searchable source of content.

To permanently delete documents from your iThenticate user account and private repository, follow the steps provided below:

  • Select the document you would like to delete
  • Click on the trash can icon
  • Access the Trash folder
  • Select the document you would like to permanently delete
  • Click on the Delete button

Note: Once permanently deleted, the document cannot be restored. If you want to generate a Similarity Report without saving the document to your custom repository, select the option Generate Report Only when uploading your document.
