Deleting Workspaces

[Stuart_Gray]

Hey guys,

Last night I tried to do a cleanup of our tenant. We have a fair number of workspaces that are not in use/no longer required, and I had hoped to delete them, along with a general tidy up of scripts / picklists.

I was unable to delete many of the workspaces that I tried, with no dialog box explaining either success or failure.

Thinking perhaps it was due to the size of the workspaces in question, I tried deleting every field from Item Details, and followed up with a workspace purge, to no joy.

Any recommendations here?

Cheers,

Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Deleting workspaces requires that you clean up any dependencies on that workspace first. For example, any picklists that pull data from the workspace, any other workspaces that list this workspace as pickable in the Relationships tab, etc. Once that is done, you should purge data in these workspaces before deleting the workspaces themselves. Timeout could be a factor in this process, and if you run into timeout issues I recommend you contact customer support.

I was getting errors initially, recognising the dependancies that existed and I removed them.

Time out is highly likely, it was over 13mins before the server responded to my delete request!

I'll ping support, thanks
