Delete a Content Library
You can delete a content library that you no longer want to use.
Prerequisites
Required privilege: Content library. Delete subscribed library or Content library. Delete local library on
the type of library you want to delete.
Procedure
1 In the vSphere Web Client navigator, select vCenter Inventory Lists > Content Libraries.
2 Right-click a content library from the list and select Delete.
3 In the Delete library confirmation dialog box, click Yes.
The content library and all its contents are deleted.
Hierarchical Inheritance of Permissions for Content Libraries
vSphere objects inherit permissions from a parent object in the hierarchy. Content libraries work in the
context of a single vCenter Server instance. However, content libraries are not direct children of a
vCenter Server system from an inventory perspective.
The direct parent for content libraries is the global root. This means that if you set a permission at a
vCenter Server level and propagate it to the children objects, the permission applies to data centers, folders,
clusters, hosts, virtual machines, and so on, but does not apply to the content libraries that you see and
operate with in this vCenter Server instance. To assign a permission on a content library, an Administrator
must grant the permission to the user as a global permission. Global permissions support assigning
privileges across solutions from a global root object.
The figure illustrates the inventory hierarchy and the paths by which permissions can propagate.
