Deleting Variables and Variable Groups

Delete a variable when nothing reads it any more. Activities that still reference a deleted variable cannot resolve its value at runtime, so check what uses it before removing it.

Before you begin​

Confirm that no activity reads the variable. Deleting a group removes every variable inside it.

Delete a variable​

  1. Open the variable group that contains the variable.
  2. Select the Ellipsis icon at the right end of the variable's row, then select Delete.
  3. Select Yes to confirm.

The confirmation asks Are you sure you want to delete this variable?.

Delete a variable group​

  1. Select the Ellipsis icon at the right end of the group's row, then select Delete.
  2. Select Yes to confirm.

The confirmation dialog is titled Delete Global Variable Group.

How you know it worked​

The variable or group no longer appears in the list.
