ERROR: Could not delete because other records in the system are still referencing this authority term

As in the web application, you cannot delete an authority term if it is still being used in other records.

Visit the un-deleted term authority record in CollectionSpace and look in the right sidebar to see what records it is “Used by”. Visit those records and remove the term from them. Then you should be able to delete the term manually or via a new CSV Importer batch.

If your term does not appear to be “Used by” any other records, but you are getting this message, it is likely that records using this term were “soft deleted” at some point. These records no longer show up in the application, but still exist in the underlying data used by the services API. Contact your CollectionSpace admin support and ask them to check for and delete from the database any soft deleted records using the term you wish to delete.
