Is there a way to delete GP entities?

Posted on by

A while back there were a few entities created and there have been no activity.  How can I delete them?

Thanks,

    I have to agree with Ian on this one - I have had much better luck clearing the databases via SQL and then using the cleanup tools to clear the records from the Dynamics databases.  Not sure why this is - but - this has become my preferred method.

    I've had numerous problems deleting companies through GP; I find better results by deleting the database via SQL Server Management Studio and running the Clear Companies script at the bottom of this article: support.microsoft.com/.../855361

    Hi,

    You can delete the company within GP.

    Administration >> Utilities >> System >> Delete Company

    Use the Delete Company window to delete an existing company. After deleting the company, delete the company’s database from Microsoft SQL Server.
