Deleting projects, folders, and assets

Deleting projects, folders, and assets

You can delete a project, folder, or asset if you no longer need it. However, before you delete it, verify that no users in the organization plan to use it. You cannot retrieve projects, folders, or assets after you delete them.
You cannot delete an asset in the following situations:
  • The asset is a task that is currently running.
  • The asset is a mapping that is currently running.
  • The asset is used by another asset. You must first delete the dependencies of the asset before you can delete the asset.
    For example, if a connection is used by a process, you cannot delete the connection. You must either delete the process or update the process to use a different connection, and then delete the connection.
    For information about viewing asset dependencies, see Asset dependencies.
  • The asset has a cyclic dependency on other assets. You must delete all the assets simultaneously. For example, if
    Process A
    is used by
    Process B
    ,
    Process B
    is used by
    Process C
    , and
    Process C
    is used by
    Process A
    , you cannot delete any of these processes individually. You must delete all of them simultaneously. Select all the processes, click
    Actions
    , and then select
    Delete
    .
    For information about viewing asset dependencies, see Asset dependencies
  • The asset is a published asset. You must first unpublish the asset and then delete the asset.
Delete a project, folder, or asset from the
Explore
page, as shown in the following image:
The Action menu on the Explore page includes the Delete action, which you can use for a project, folder, or asset.
  1. On the
    Explore
    page, navigate to the object that you want to delete.
  2. If your organization enabled source control, check out the object that you want to delete.
  3. In the row that contains the project, folder, or asset, click
    Actions
    and select
    Delete
    .
  4. If the object was checked out, check in the object so that the change is reflected in the Git repository.
