To delete a resource, the resource in question must be a Draft. The resource is in Draft status if:

  • It has just been created and has not yet been published.
  • If it has already been published, the resource has to be re-drafted.
IMPORTANT
Re-drafting and deleting a custom resource are sensitive operations which can impact other resources. These actions must be performed by an expert user only.

To re-draft and delete a published resource:

  1. Select the resource you want to re-draft.

  2. Click the Re-draft button in the action bar.

  3. Click Ok.

    IMPORTANT
    This action is definitive: the resource’s database table or colums and their data will be permanently deleted when the modification is published, which can result in broken links from other custom resources. Only the resource definition will remain available.

    NOTE
    If you re-draft an extension of the out-of-the-box Profiles (profile) resource, you must also re-draft any Test profile (seedMember) extension you may have defined. For more on extending the profile resource, see this section.

  4. Publish the resource. For more detailed steps, refer to Publishing a custom resource.

    The resource then goes into Draft mode and its activation status is Inactive.

  5. In List mode, check the resource to delete then click the Delete element icon.

Your resource is deleted from the data model.

NOTE
If a field of a custom resource used on an event is modified or deleted, the corresponding event will automatically be unpublished. See Unpublishing a transactional event.
