Managed solution export/import

Hi All,

I am trying to move a managed solution from our DEV environment to a TEST environment, but when I export the solution certain elements that we have removed from a form are being added back to the solution. In the DEV environment the elements have been deleted off the form and not until I upload into new environment is when I notice the certain elements are not removed. From my research, I have read that it might be due to an unmanaged layer in the solution, but don't see anything. Any suggestions on how I can successfully move my solution over without the deleted elements?

Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you,

MAC

Deleted elements reappear because of unmanaged layers in TEST. To fix it:

Remove unmanaged layers from the affected components.

Import the solution using the "Upgrade" option.

Ensure TEST doesn’t have leftover customizations.
