That might be a location that's closed, or an old location name that's still showing after a rename. A location stays on your Pulse list as long as its **Series** exists. To remove it completely, you'll stop new recordings from using it, move or delete the recordings already tagged with it, and then delete the Series. > **Tip:** **Just changing a location's name?** You don't need to remove anything. See [Rename a Pulse Location](LINK-TBD) instead. > **New to how locations are set up?** See [How Pulse Locations Work](LINK-TBD) for how Series, Channels, and Archive Settings fit together. --- Work through these steps in order. Stopping new recordings from using the old Series first keeps the location from coming back. ## Step 1: Stop New Recordings From Using the Series 1. Open the location's **Channel** 2. Go to **Stream > Archive** and check the **Series** field in the Default Archive Settings. Change it to the correct location, or clear it if the Channel is no longer in use. ![Stream archive settings](https://support.sardius.media/kb-media/c3ebd36443f731d013e5.png?width=603) 3. Go to **Event Calendar** and open each recurring event. On the **Archive Settings** tab, check the **Series** field and update it if it still shows the location you're removing. ![Archive settings](https://support.sardius.media/kb-media/8b880e122665bce4ca53.png?width=586) --- ## Step 2: Find Recordings Still Tagged With the Location 1. Go to **Content > Assets** 2. Click the **Series** filter and select the location you're removing 3. Review the recordings that appear ![Asset Filters](https://support.sardius.media/kb-media/db7f53d030b32dd13c20.png?width=656) ![Advanced filter](https://support.sardius.media/kb-media/52ed85ca0faabedbb328.png?width=462) --- ## Step 3: Move or Delete Each Recording For each recording, decide whether to keep it: - **To keep it**, move it to another location: click on the asset, open the **Metadata** tab, scroll down and change **Series** to the correct location, and update. - **If you don't need it**, delete it: click the **⋮** menu on the recording and choose **Delete**. ![Channel metadata](https://support.sardius.media/kb-media/2641c9e35333f498e191.png) --- ## Step 4: Delete the Series 1. Go to **Metadata > Series** and click the location 2. At the top of the location panel, check that **Total Matching Assets** shows **0** 3. Click the **⋮** menu in the top right of the side panel and choose **Delete** ![](https://support.sardius.media/kb-media/0495fe04dbd96182966e.png?width=611) > **Warning:** Make sure **Total Matching Assets** shows **0** before you delete the Series, so no recordings you want to keep drop off your Pulse site. If it shows any, go back to [Step 3](#step-3-move-or-delete-each-recording) and move or delete them first. --- ## Step 5: Check Your Feed If your Pulse Feed pulls content by **Series**, remove the location name from the Feed's filter: 1. Go to **Content > Feeds** and open the Pulse Feed you need to edit ![Feeds](https://support.sardius.media/kb-media/9972b33ad582bc513fac.png?width=236) 2. Open the **Assets** tab and scroll down to **Advanced Filter** next to Smart Playlis ![Advanced Filter](https://support.sardius.media/kb-media/1e5b2faefc57942057d7.png?width=491) 2. Click the trashcan to remove the location name from the filter ![Advanced Filter](https://support.sardius.media/kb-media/5800301aa8a86cf37374.png?width=489) 4. Click **Show results**, then **Update Feed** > **Note:** If your Feed pulls by **Categories** (your service or event types), you don't need to change anything. --- ## Verifying It Worked 1. Open your Pulse site and hard-refresh (**Cmd+Shift+R** on Mac, **Ctrl+Shift+R** on Windows) 2. Confirm the location is gone from your location list > **Note:** Changes can take a few minutes to show on your Pulse site. If something looks off right after an update, wait a few minutes and refresh again. --- ## Troubleshooting **The location is still showing after the Channel was renamed or deleted.** The Series still exists. Removing or renaming a Channel doesn't remove its Series. Follow the steps above to remove it. **The location came back after I removed it.** A recurring event is probably still tagging recordings with the old Series. Check each event's Archive Settings (Step 1). **A location tile shows only its name, with no image.** That Series doesn't have a Cover image. If the location is still in use, add a Cover under Metadata > Series. If it isn't, remove it using the steps above. --- ## Related Articles - [How Pulse Locations Work](LINK-TBD) - [Rename a Pulse Location](LINK-TBD) - [Add a New Location to Pulse](https://support.sardius.media/knowledge-base/add-a-new-location-to-pulse) Need help?
