Removing an enclosed file

If you enclosed a file describing how an item's data was modified or tested and you later add that information to the metadata, you should remove the enclosed file containing the duplicate information.

  1. In ArcCatalog, click the ArcGIS item whose metadata contains the enclosed file you want to see.
  2. Click the Metadata Properties button Metadata Properties on the Metadata toolbar.

    The Metadata Properties dialog box opens.

  3. Click the enclosure you want to delete.
  4. Click Delete.
  5. Click Cancel.
