Deleting an Authority Record
You can delete an authority record only if no bib records are attached to it. If you want to delete an authority record that has bib records attached, you must first find all the bib records containing the authority tag that links to the authority record that you want to delete and delete the authority tag from each bib record. Once you have deleted all the authority tags, you can delete the authority record.
