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?

RE: Deleting Project and customisation

Please read my answer again. It begins with: "If you want to delete all customizations..." So yes, it would uninstall all customizations. If it's not what you want, why didn't say "that's nice, but I don't want to delete all customizations, I want to ..." and explain your actual requirement? We can't read your mind, therefore you'll have to invest a few minutes to explain what you actually need. Otherwise we're all wasting time here.

RE: Deleting Project and customisation

Yes.

First you asked that delete your practice project, so I have shared one link.

Second you asked to restore the original, I explained,

Now, you are asking to delete all customization. My answer is uninstall the model technet.microsoft.com/.../hh433514.aspx.

If you uninstall the model, all customization will be removed, even others.

Please clear your problem.

If I un-install whole model...It will affect the customisation made by other developers made in that table...isn't it?

I already gave you such a method. If you want "yet another method", please explain which aspect should be different. Do you have any requirement that isn't covered by uninstalling the model?

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....

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.

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.

RE: Deleting Project and customisation

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.
