@Erica2 Do you have any customer updates in your update set ? if yes move it to your default update set , make sure your update set empty which you want to delete.

@Harsh Vardhan 

You're correct.  I need to remove all the objects in the test update set before I can completely delete the unwanted update set.  I understand that I cannot delete the "Default" update set although I remove all the customer updates it contains. 

You're an awesome helper and contributor to the community.  Thank you very much for your help.

Hi @Erica2 ,

Instead of deleting update set , please change the update set to ignore.

Please refer below article for clear understanding of update sets:
