Delete model objects

You can delete model objects in the WebModeller in the model overview using the context menu or the Del key:

Delete model object

Attention: Shapes in freehand and BPMN diagrams are not deleted when the model object is deleted. The shapes only lose the object reference and are displayed empty.

Note: You delete elements in the tree structure of the SystemAdministration in the same way. For more information, see SystemAdministration.

Delete model objects that are used as a reference

For main assigned model objects that were referenced in another object, a dialog appears as soon as you have started the deletion process:

If you do not check the box and click on Delete, only the main assigned object will be deleted. References continue to exist in the database.

If you check the box and click on Delete, a warning appears that the object is still referenced elsewhere. If you click on Delete used objects from overview only, only the main assigned object will be deleted. If you click on Delete referenced objects from the database here, all references are also deleted from the database:
