Delete or purge a configuration

Delete or purge a configuration based on your business requirements.

Purging a configuration deletes catalog source links generated from the configuration but retains the configuration.
    1In Metadata Command Center, go to the Configure page.
    2Select the Lineage tab and then select the Link Catalog Sources (Preview) tab.
    3From the list of configurations, select the configuration that you want to delete or purge.
