Can you delete Views directly in App Designer?

I've somehow managed to throw up a SavedQuery error when trying to upload a View in a Managed Solution from my Dev environment to my Prod one. I think it might be that I accidentally created a View in the Prod site's App Designer rather than the Dev one.

As far as I can see, I need to delete these Views from the Prod site so that I can upload the versions I actually want in my Solution, but the problem is that they're not in a Solution in my Prod environment, they're just in the App Designer. Is there a way to delete them from there?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If view is introduced in a managed solution, the fastest way is to un-install the managed solution in your PROD. In your Dev environment, remove the view and import modified solution to Production.

I can't find the View in any of the Solutions though that's the problem. Is another way around it to Copy the Prod environment to the Dev one so that they match again, and then go from there?

If it's a system view, it has to be belong to some solution. You can check this view belonged solution by: go to Settings -> Customizations -> Customize the system -> Expand the related entity -> Under views find that view -> select solution layer.

By doing this, you will find it's associated with which solution.

The solution is just called "Active" - not sure what that means?

Thank you for your help so far by the way!

“Active” means default solution. It's either directly created under Customization or introduced in unmanaged solution. You can directly delete it by clicking "×" like below screenshot

Create a new unmanaged solution and add your view to solution. Then select and delete the view

Or Open the Default solution (Settings->Customization->Customize the System -> Select Entity -> Select View - > Delete)

Hello Charlotte,

You cannot do this from app designer. However, You can do this from Settings > Customization > Customize the system > Select Entity -> Select View - > Delete

Hi again - I just tried this and it says it can't be deleted because it has a dependency which it shows to be the model-driven app I was trying to delete it from in the first place. How do I remove it from the app so that I can delete it from the default solution? I'm really confused!

For clarity - I went to the default solution, selected the view I wanted to delete and it told me it couldn't be deleted because it had a dependency. This turned out to be a model-driven app (app designer) in a different solution (Phase 1). I went to Phase 1 and tried deleting the views from there, but deleting them wasn't an option (as in, the delete button wasn't there). I went into the app designer and made sure they weren't selected as system views, but even after saving that, I still can't delete the view from the default solution.

So the question is how to delete the dependency relationship between the default solution view and the Phase 1 solution model-driven app?

Thanks in advance!
