Posted on by Community Member

I have created a project for practice purpose. After practising I have deleted the project, but still tables/forms/query and everything is there in AOT.

Is there any method by that i can delete all customisation I made in one stretch?

I have to trace each and everything and i have to delete?

If you delete the project from projects window, it will remove only the project definition not the containing element.

You can delete your private projects by running simple job. Please refer this link community.dynamics.com/.../delete-private-aot-projects-in-ax-2012

If you want to delete all customizations, on of possible ways is deleting the whole model using Uninstall-AXModel (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj720264.aspx) or axutil.

It is written as "Deleting a model may cause orphan elements in other models"....

Is there any other method to avoid this?

If you want to remove your customization on the standard table, simply you can delete that table. Once you deleted, the standard table structure will appear, your customization will be removed.

Note: We can't delete the standard structure.

Please also have a look on layers msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa851164.aspx

Do u have project back-up. if yes, please import the project definition only and get the project objects in one place. After that you can delete one by one.

Another process, if you know the objects name which you have customized under this project, please select under in different project, whatever objects are new please delete permanently. whatever object having conflict within same layer please compare and remove it.

Working are the primary way of managing customizations. Of course, you still can do something stupid with them, but it's still the safest way available. For example, if you delete customizations one by one, you easily forget some...

"Deleting a model may cause orphan elements in other models" refers to deleting models that other models depend on.

Perhaps you can filter out all your customisations.

First create a new blank project. Open the project and hit CTRL+F3

Select append and a grouping to your liking. (if you want to select all items at once for deleting do not group)

You can search for all items in a layer. But allso on modifieddatetime and createdby (table SysModelElementData)

This will searh the entire AOT and add elements that fit your criteria to the project.

Next select all the elements in your project and hit DEL and select permanently delete.

Hi Martin....

I agree with your words " if you delete customizations one by one, you easily forget some..."..

That is why I am asking for other ways....

Thank you Hariharan....

I got to Know new thing from you....

But Still...instead of deleting each customisation, is there any other method?

As Martin said it will not be the proper way of doing i guess...
