How to: Delete Applications and Systems from System Diagrams
In System Designer, you can delete uses of applications or other systems from a system definition that includes them as members.
Note
Deleting members from a system definition does not delete their underlying definitions. However, this action can affect other distributed system diagrams that reference that member on other system diagrams and deployment diagrams. Prior to deleting members or underlying definitions, see Considerations for Deleting Applications and Endpoints from System Diagrams, Troubleshooting Deployment Diagrams, and Considerations for Deleting Applications from Application Diagrams.
