Troubleshooting deleting objects

ErrorDescription/Resolution
An object with a Property Sheet number less than 200 is considered a System Object and cannot be deleted.

You cannot delete standard (delivered) Contenta Object Types.

If you do not want the Property Sheet to be seen in the interface, specify NO in the Display column.

Unable to Delete Object Definition: ChildOne, since Objects exist of this Type in the database

You cannot delete an Object Type if they if an object of that type has been created and exists in the Contenta database.

If you removed such objects using the Delete option in Contenta Explorer, you must also execute the reap_delete tool before you can delete the Object Type in pcmadmin.

The object remains in the database (for possible retrieval using the History feature) until you use the reap_delete tool. See the Database Maintenance Commands topic in this documentation for information about the reap_delete tool.
