<p>Hi, </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Yes, some types ( Agents, Subjects, Locations ) are globally scoped and are not tied to a specific repository. This is so you don't have to make multiple Agent records for the same person for each repository you have.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you want to delete these, the easiest way is to do it via the API. </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If you want to blast everything in ASpace, the easiest way is to simply drop the database, delete the index ( in data/solr_index) and start with a fresh install.

You could batch delete through the API -- I've done this with accessions, but it looks like there are commands for removing agents and subjects as well (<a style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;" href="http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/doc/file.API.html">http://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/doc/file.API.html</a>).
I don't know why they didn't delete with the snapshot; agents are kept in the database as far as I am aware so as long as that was reset to zero (so to speak) I would think they would go away.</p>

<span style="color:#1F497D">As a follow up to you and the community, my partner in crime on the server side attempted to restore our instance by using a snapshot he took before my test migration of accession records. When he went to restore the instance based
on that snapshot, the repositories were successfully emptied out, but the Agents and Subjects remained. I might ask him to ask the question in a more technical sense, but can anyone inform us as to why that happened? Why did the Agents and Subjects persist?
How can we remove them, other than manually?</span></p>
