Delete/Remove Browser Organizations

Anonymous — Mon, 20 May 2019 16:27:57 GMT

I would like to delete several duplicated browser organizations I have transferred between files. It seems the delete button within this dialog is grayed out and does not function.

How can I remove duplicated or unwanted browser organization types from my files. Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you!

Selecting something does not enable me to delete it

Make sure the Project Browser workset is not owned by anyone.

My Browser Organization is non-editable and not owned by anyone. My inability to delete any browser organizations crosses into my sheets and schedule tabs as well, so I do believe it is being controlled by some global setting.

Maybe it was created by the Template (RTE) that you used?

Open the central file detached and try again.

Highlight it...don't checkbox it. Whatever is checkbox'd cannot be deleted as it is the active scheme.

Also....if this was a central file, did you detach from central first?

Weird...mine the delete grays out when it is selected. I can edit or rename but Delete cannot be selected.

I'm using 2019.2...what version are you using? Checked...my 2020 doesn't allow me to delete active view schemes either.

This solved my problem, thank you. I am still unable to delete the 'all' browser organization however.

"All" is read-only. You cannot delete it.
