Managing Experiments
You may want to delete experiments over time to manage your workspace as
you work on different projects. Only the owner of an experiment can delete it.
In addition, you cannot delete an experiment if the experiment, or the datasets
or analyses that are part of an experiment, are owned by another user.
However, you can take ownership of the entire experiment, and then delete it.
Note: See your system administrator to take ownership of an
experiment.
Deleting an experiment hides the experiment from view but does not remove it
from the database. Deleted experiments can be restored.
Once you are certain an experiment is no longer of use, you may want to
purge it from the system. Purging an experiment permanently removes it from
the database. Purging experiments can take some time, and you cannot exit
ProteOn Manager software while experiments are being purged. Purged
experiments cannot be restored.
Note: You cannot purge an experiment in the Security Edition.
