Deleting Libraries

trmartin

Hi,

My zotero library is mostly filled with references for my thesis and other college papers. Since I am done with school I was thinking about deleting my library and collections. However, I used the word zotero extension in my papers. If I delete all the items from my library will the references in my papers also delete

The reference won't delete, no, the documents will be fully usable. You won't be able to update the metadata for them anymore, obviously (because you've deleted the connected Zotero references), but if that's not a concern, deleting the items is not a problem.

Any particular reason you want to delete items, though?
