Delete window

Use this window to remove a type from a VOB. When you delete a global type object in an administrative VOB, all copies of the type are deleted from VOBs in the administrative VOB hierarchy.

Restriction: You cannot remove an element type from a replicated VOB.
Attention: If the Delete command fails for any reason, you must address the causes of the failure and enter the command again. Continue until the command completes successfully and the type is removed. Failure to complete the delete operation results in inconsistent metadata.
Attention: Deleting a type may have unintended consequences. For example, deleting a label type may change the versions that are in a view if the view uses a label to select versions.

Remove all instances of this type

If any instances of the type exist, set Remove All Instances of This Type. If you set this check box in a regular VOB, all instances of the type in the current VOB are deleted. If you are deleting a global type object in an administrative VOB, all instances of the type in all VOBs in the administrative VOB hierarchy are deleted.

If you delete a branch type, all versions on associated branches and any subbranches are also deleted.
