How to delete an extension

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Can anyone point me to any documentation or suggest the appropriate way to delete an extension class (or any custom code files for that matter)?  I've found on occasion while developing extensions, I may decide that I've gone down the wrong path and I want to remove some code files that I've been working on.  If I delete an extension class from the solution explorer, I start getting "object reference is not set to an instance of an object" errors and debugging leads into some kernel stuff that I believe is failing because I removed my extension.  Do I need to do a full model build (Dynamics 365 > Build Models) on the model?  Is there a better way or any guidance that anyone can give?

    Hi Brawndo,

    When you delete an individual object from a project, you need to build the model. If you only build the solution, it will not consider deleting the old object as they could be part of another solution for the same model.
