Hello, In Koha, how does one delete a biblio item? I am thinking of playing around with it a bit and entering some example biblios, but I want to remove them after I am done. thanks, ->HS

I have asked this twice and got no reply. Can I assume this cannot be done in Koha? Another option comes to mind, a work around. What if I make a branch for testing purposes, called Testing? Can I delete a branch later on (and all its contents will be deleted)? thanks, ->HS
In the intranet interface when viewing a biblio record in either Brief or MARC detail I see a "Delete Record" button that probably does what you want (ie. delete all items and biblio record). The other method I've used is just modifying the url to take me through a series of records. When viewing a record it will have a url like: http://koha.liblime.com/cgi-bin/koha/detail.pl?bib=3516 Simply change the number at the end of the url and hit enter. I haven't bothered to find a programmatical way to do it since I only create a few records when testing. If you want to perform a larger test then I suggest you keep your test and production installs separate.

Okay. I will give this a shot.

I am not sure I understand what changing the number actually accomplish. Could you explain a bit more?

Right, that is another option. A lot of work, but should work. Still, huge effort to accomplish such a little task. thanks, ->HS
If you know you've added 5 books as a test to a brand new install then the record numbers assigned to them will be 1 thru 5. If you want to delete those 5 then you view and delete record 1, change the url to 2 and repeat until they're all gone. When adding the next biblio the number will not start at the beginning again but where it last left off, in this case 6. Does that help at all?
