Delete baits

You can permanently remove baits from eArray. You must be the owner of the baits, and the baits cannot be in use in any bait group. This gives you a way to remove "orphan" baits that are not in use, or baits that you have uploaded or created in error.

Perform a search for the desired baits.
- Note: You can prepare and upload a file of the Bait IDs of the baits that you want to delete, then use this file to perform a bait search. See Search for baits.
In the Search Results pane, select the baits that you want to delete. Use the following as a guide:
- To select an individual bait, mark the check box in its row.
- To go to another page of results, click on of the Pages links. eArray remembers the baits you select as you go from page to page.
- To apply a filter to the bait list, click Filter. If you have defined a default filter, you can also click Apply Default Filter. For more information about filters, see Apply a probe filter and Create a custom probe filter.
- To reverse the order of baits in the list, click the Bait ID column heading.
- To select all of the baits on the current page, mark the check box in the heading row of the Search Results.
- To select all of the baits on every page of the search results, mark Select Entire Result.
Click Delete.

A dialog box appears.
Caution: When you delete baits, you permanently remove them from eArray. To restore deleted baits, you must upload them or create them again.

Click OK.

A message informs you that your Delete Baits job has been submitted, and that you will receive an e-mail when eArray finishes the job. You can monitor the progress of the job in the Pending Jobs pane on the workspace home page.
Click Close.

When eArray finishes your job, you receive an e-mail, and the status of the job changes to Complete.
Note: eArray may only be able to delete some of the baits that you selected. If so, eArray deletes the baits it can. The e-mail that you receive includes a list of the baits that you selected, and indicates whether or not each bait was deleted.
