Documents even without references or drawings cannot be deleted. Message is the standard that it has relations and cannot be deleted.

 

These are stp uploads that also cannot be moved as no folders are shown.

 

Creating a drawing does show up on the data panel.

Hi @ernie9TF2T 

It could be because the document/documents you want to delete were referenced by other documents at some point in time, but not anymore.   In other words, previous versions of the document might have been linked/referenced by some other document and that link could have been severed in a future version.  Is this the case with your files?  Fusion prevents deleting the  document that was previously referenced and shows the message you are seeing.  

We are aware that this is not a good experience and want to fix this.  

 

Regards

Gautham

This is an ages old issue and your more advanced users have been aware of this for several years (4-5).

When do you intend on fixing this ?
