SID-01774: Why can't I delete my TWiki Topic?

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.1.2	Perl version:
Category:	CategoryEditing	Server OS:		Last update:	12 years ago

When I click "delete topic... scans links in all public webs (recommended)" or "Delete topic... scans links in ITS/DesignSystems/CMDevelopment web only" in the "More Actions on Topic" page, my browser (I've tried it on IE and Chrome) says "Waiting for twiki.dal.design.ti.com..." and then it just keeps on thinking and doesn't delete the topic. How can I delete my TWiki topics? (BifrostDSAndBDM, BifrostDS, and BdmWrapper) Thank you!

Discussion and Answer

You seem to have a very large TWiki. If so, scan for backlinks in the current web only.

I clicked "Find topics that link to BifrostDS ..., in ITS/DesignSystems/CMDevelopment web only" under the Backlink section but what am I supposed to do once I see the list of backlinks?

I clicked "Delete topic... scans links in ITS/DesignSystems/CMDevelopment web only" and then when it pulls up the Delete page, I clear the "Optionally change topic name" and I click "Clear All" update links, then click "Delete" and that is when it just keeps on thinking and doesn't delete the topic. I haven't been able to delete any of my three topics - BifrostDSAndBDM, BifrostDS, and BdmWrapper. If you have the authority to delete them, could you do it or let me know how to do so? Thank you!

Obviously I do not have access to your internal TWiki. I recommend you contact your TWiki admin.
