iThenticate 2.0 users can permanently delete papers from the database by sending papers to the trash area and then accessing the trash to permanently delete the papers.
This is a permanent deletion of the paper from the repository it is stored in.
Files can be deleted on an individual basis or in bulk by following the steps below:
- Select the file(s) you wish to delete
- Select the Delete button displayed in the bar along the top of the inbox
- This action will move the file(s) to the trash area. Moving it here will not remove the file from the repository it was submitted to, so you will need to follow the next steps for permanent deletion:
- Select the Trash button from the sidebar
- Select the paper you'd like to delete
- Click on Permanently delete

Administrators are also able to permanently delete papers via the paper lookup tool. More information on how to use this can be found in our Help Guide here.
