Delete DocumentsSecured Action - Only available to certain workers

Sometimes items may need to be deleted from the Electronic Case File (ECF). The most common reason for deleting an item is to remove a duplicate when a document is inadvertently scanned more than once.

 

When a document is deleted from the ECF, all references are deleted. If a document has been copied to other people or cases, all copies of the document will be deleted.

Before You Start

This function can be done only by managers, supervisors, lead workers, or others with proper security clearance.

 

To request the ability to delete items, the security officer for your county must complete a CARES Automated Systems Access Request (F-00476) and send it to DHS CARES Security.
