To remove entities from VIVO, run SPARQL queries to retrieve the triples for the entities as RDF. Then go to Site Administration -> Advanced Data Tools -> Add or Remove RDF Data to upload the RDF to remove the triples for the entities.

Entities that are involved in relationships will need more attention.  The relationship involving the entity should also be removed.

To make this functionality more user-friendly and preserve usage of construct query for deletion of linked instances for the certain type of entity, a display object property display:hasDeleteQuery linked with that entity and with the construct query should be written in a file located in the VIVO_HOME directory rdf/display/everytime/.  To display the option for deletion of an instance and linked instances, add link <@p.deleteIndividualLink individual /> to an individual page.
