12.0 Deleting Files

The FedBizOpps System provides Users with the ability to delete files. However, we strongly advise against deleting entire notices, as this will confuse vendors who have already read the notice or have already received email notification of the notice. If there is incorrect information in a “Synopsis”, we recommend posting a “Modification”. If there is incorrect information in a “Solicitation”, we recommend posting an “Amendment”.

Please Note: You cannot delete a modification without deleting the associated notice. The system will allow you to delete the entire notice (including all postings for that notice) or delete files uploaded to that solicitation number. If an error is made on a modification, you can either post another modification or delete the entire notice.

12.1 Deleting All Files

To delete files, click on “DELETE”.

Figure 12.1: Deleting a Notice

Select the synopsis file to delete from the list called "Select a Document". You can choose to delete the synopsis and all associated files by clicking on “Deleted Selected Document”.

The following "Document Delete Confirmation" screen is displayed:

Instead of deleting the entire file, you can choose to delete selected document uploads. To delete selected document uploads, select the synopsis file to delete from the "Select a Document" list. Then, click on “View Attachments”.

Figure 12.5: Deleting Selected Uploads

If you click on the application "Back" button, the system will return you to the previous screen. Otherwise, highlight the upload to delete, such as a solicitation or amendment, in the “Select Solicitation Group” list. Then, click on “Next”.

Please Note: You can only delete an entire upload, such as “Solicitation 01”, “Amendment 01”, etc. You cannot delete a specific document in an upload. The entire upload will need to be deleted in order to delete a specific document.
