Deleting data collections

If you created a data collection accidentally or if a data collection is obsolete, you can delete it.
Before you can delete a collection, verify the following prerequisites:
Verify the privileges and permissions
Verify one of the following:
Verify that the data collection doesn't have a consumer access, order or request
Ensure that the data collection that you want to delete does not have a consumer access, an order or a new data collection request in it.
    1Open a data collection.
    For more information about how you can find a data collection, see Browsing for data collections.
    2In the Data Collection Summary panel on the data collection page, click the Delete button.
    You can also delete a data collection from the category page of the data collection. To do this, in the Data Collections grid on the category page, click the Action > Delete button next to the data collection that you want to delete.
    3In the Delete Data Collection dialog box, click Delete.
The data collection that you selected is deleted. When you delete a collection, the delivery targets associated with it are deleted. However, the data assets and terms of use that are associated with the data collection are not deleted.
Note: If the data collection that you want to delete is linked to another collection, this link is removed when you delete the data collection. In this scenario, the other collection that was linked does not get deleted.
