Delete environments when Power Platform Integration is enabled

When Microsoft Power Platform Integration is enabled, the finance and operations apps environment and the customer engagements apps environment are tightly connected. Administrators should regard these two platforms as one environment that has multiple apps. This article describes the options for deleting environments.

Delete an environment by using Power Platform admin center

You can't use Power Platform admin center to delete a linked environment. If you try, you receive the following error message:

Delete cannot be performed on Power Platform environments that are linked to Finance and Operations environments. Please use Lifecycle Services to perform this operation.

Recommendations

  • When the finance and operations apps environment is deleted, the linked Dataverse environment is not automatically deleted. However, the link is removed, and you can then delete the environment by using Power Platform admin center.
