[Design] [cosmo] [proposal] [bug 9080] Remove and delete items

[Mimi Yin]

That's great!

bcm, Is this true of unpublish as well? When collections are removed  
from the server either via the account browser or by a Desktop user...
+ Are the items in the collection deleted?
+ Or are only items that *only exist in that one collection* deleted;  
and
+ Items that also exist in other collections are preserved.
