Dependant files can't be deleted

OliverIshmael — Thu, 18 Jul 2024 11:45:23 GMT

When a user uploads a shapefile to Portal they end up with a Feature Layer and a Shapefile. If we try to delete the Shapefile (which is basically a duplication of the Feature Layer) then we get an error saying:

"These items have other items dependent on them. They must be deleted together"

This is significantly adding to our storage costs. How do we overcome this?

Hey @OliverIshmael

I just attempted to add a feature layer via the shaprefile .zip and I was able to delete without issue. What version of Enterprise are you using?
