Deleting Automatic Data in new company file

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 8
I created a new company but found that there was automatic data populated in the file that I didn't put there and having trouble finding out how to delete it or create a new file with no data in it.
 
Appreciate any advice.
 
Thank you!

    Hi,

    If you are seeing unexpected data after creating a new legal entity in D365 Finance and Operations, it’s likely because the environment you’re working in has demo data (Contoso data) loaded.

    In a demo environment:

    • When you create a new legal entity, global shared tables (like customers, vendors, items) still show data because they are shared across all companies.

    • Even if you create a "new" company, shared tables will still display demo records unless you manually filter or delete them

    To work without any demo data:

     

    You would need to request or set up a "blank environment" without demo data installed.

    Hope this helps,
    Zain

    Thanks, Dain. This is very helpful. How do I request the "blank" environment?
