Deleting collections and their items
Hi,
I have got a question.
If I delete collection A and its items, but some items from this collection are included in another collection B, will these items be deleted from both collections, or they will be deleted from collection A only and remain in collection B?

I've got an opposite situation that I am trying to solve: I want to remove all items (I understand that 'delete' causes it to be removed from all collections) from a newly imported/created collection, which exist in other pre-existing (i.e. nonunique) collections.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you.
There's a workaround you could use, but it's a bit involved:
- Tag all items in "Unfiled" with a tag (say, unfiled)*
- Create a saved search for Collection is [your collection] and Tag is NOT [unfiled] with match all and only top level items
- Tag all items in that saved search with another tag (say, to remove)
- filter by that tag in your collection and press delete (or right-click-->Remove from collection).
* I really wish we had Unfiled as an available search condition. Would make things so much easier
