You can delete titles only if completely empty. However, it may happen that a title with no editions still references some orphan content, and therefore the delete would fail.

In such case, you need to use the command-line functionalities.

To delete an empty title forcibly, ignoring orphan references

1.Log onto a GN4 IIS server.

2.Open a Command Prompt window as Administrator.

3.Navigate to the GN4 binaries folder, typically C:\TERA\GN4\bin or C:\TERA\GN4\bin64 - but it can be also another folder.

4.Type the following command, replacing XYZ with the title id.

Note: all command goes in a single line! Here's wrapped for a better readability.
