Permanently delete a reference sequence file

After you import a reference sequence file using Torrent Suite™ Software, you can permanently delete the file from the Ion Torrent™ Server. Deleting a reference sequence file is useful if you want to upload a new file using the same Short Name as an existing file, or if you no longer require the reference for your Planned Runs.

IMPORTANT! Recovery of a deleted reference sequence is not possible.

  1. Click (Settings) > References.
  2. In the Reference Sequences table, in the Short Name column, click the reference sequence file name.
  3. In the file properties screen, click Delete Genome > Yes, Delete It.

    The reference is removed from the Reference Sequences table and is permanently deleted from the Ion Torrent™ Server.
