 +==== Destroying a Package ====
 +
 +Destroying a package is a dangerous function which not only removes the package from the database, but also **ALL ITEMS CONTAINED IN THE PACKAGE** and all **ASSOCIATED CIRCULATIONS RECORDS**.
 +
 +It is best to ensure that a database backup has been copied to the archive using the [[PergamonMystic:​linkedhelp:​file_manager|File Manager]] prior to **Destroying a Package** in case it is decided later that the action was incorrect.
 +
 +The main purposes of //​destroying a package// as opposed to simply removing it, is in the identification of catalogue items for removal from the library followed by the //​deliberate//​ removal from the database. Even then, is often wiser to //​deactive//​ the items rather than remove them so that they can be part of future interrogations of the database.
 +
 +The recovery of items destroyed in a package can only be performed through the selective data recovery from an archived database, made immediately prior to destruction (so that the package contents can be identified). As time progresses, identification and recovery becomes increasingly problematic due to everyday operations within the library changing the database.
 +
 +**If you have destroyed items via a package which need to be recovered, notify Esferico Support as soon as possible after destruction**.
