Deleting Reports in Report Server without stopping Report Service

I'd just like to know if it's okay to delete reports in the report server without having to stop the reporting service or without having to restart it? Has anybody tried this?

Thanks.SUre this is one of the administrative tasks that can be done via the Web UI.

Deleting reports

So I've got a couple of reports deployed in reporting services 2005 and
Well I want to delete them but I have no clue how. I was wondering if
anybody could either
A) walk me through how to do it.
B) point me in the direction of some sites that explain how to do it
(I'm having no luck with google this morning)
Thanks a ton for the help.
MathiasWhere do you want to delete them from?
The server or your development project?
If you want to delete them from your server, just use Report Manager. Click
on "Show Details". Mark the ones you want to delete, and click on the Delete
button.
You'll need to be Content Manager to do it though. If you don't see the
Delete button, you don't have the rights to do it, and need to log on as a
different user.
If you want to delete them from you development project, you should be able
to right click the report in the management tool, and choose Remove. This
will let you choose between Remove or Delete. Remove means to delete the
reference in your project, but still leave the rdl file in the project
folder. Delete means delete the reference and the rdl-file completely.

Thanks for the help. That was what I was looking for.

Deleting Parameter From Preview Pain

Product: Reporting Services 2005

Visual Studio 2005

I've added parameters to my query in the Data Tab. Then removed one. The preview pane still shows the deleted parameter even though it does not exist in my query. I've tried opening the dataset settings and re-adding the parameter, saving, then deleting. This ghost parameter will not disappear from the Preview Pane. Is this a bug or am I not deleting it correctly.

Thanks,

Matt

To solve your preview pane pain, you need to remove the parameter from the Report Parameters collection.

Select Report from the toolbar and Report Parameters. When you add a query parameter a Report Parameter is automatically created for you, but the same is not true when your remove query parameters.

Deleting a Bunch of Reports

I need to delete a bunch of reports out of a folder in my reporting site. I can delete them one at a time, but it takes forever. I found a procedure in the database called 'DeleteObject.' It appears that this will do it for me. I just feed it the path of each report I want to delete. I tried it and it fails at the last statement in the proc. What am I doing wrong. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.Probably not an answer to your question but just curious..

I just feed it the path of each report I want to delete.

Path of each report ? Arent you better off deleting them directly from the folder if you have to manually give the path of each report ?|||It would be if it didn't take forever to go through them all. Clicking is the easy, quick part. The problem is that you click on the report, you then have to click on the Properties tab, then click 'Delete' and then wait several seconds for the delete to take place. If the report has no parameters, it starts to generate automatically when you click on it, and (I believe) that once the report is processing, it can't be deleted until it's done. At least my experience with it leads me to believe that. So, it would take a heck of a lot less time to concatenate a statement together from a select of the path and run each one from query analyzer.
Thanks for the reply, though.
