You can delete it via the file system in C:\AOSService\PackagesLocalDirectory\[packagename]\[modelname]\[objecttype]\[objectname]

Make sure your Visual Studio is closed, and all D365 related services are stopped (w3wp.exe, batch service, SSIS service, MR service).

You should do development only in packages / models that you have created.

Hi Hardaway,

Like Nikolaos mentioned, you should only work in your own new models as you can't overlayer the standard application elements. How did you manage to change the model to Demo Data Suite?

If you want to try out things, you can also consider relaxing the overlayer restriction: docs.microsoft.com/.../refactoring-over-layering

The purpose for this relax option is for the code upgrade form AX 2012 or a POC when there are items not extensible yet. In the last case, you have to create extensibility requests eventually to be able to deploy a solution in a real customer environment.

Did you check in your object in DevOps? In that case, you have to ensure it will also be removed from DevOps as the workaround described by Nikolaos is not recognized in your source control to also delete the object.

Hi Andre,

How did you manage to change the model to Demo Data Suite? By create new project, then change the model in Property to Demo Data Suite. At first the chosen model seems to look "unharm" to be a test model. Then add new item. This is the item which I want to delete after, but turn out error.

Yes, my plan is actually to "not check in" those testing objects. That's why actually I'm using different Model which used in my organization / company. I'm not even connected to my Source control for this learning process.

Anyhow, better create my own model then.

Thank you all for the advices.
