What's the best way to delete a legacy custom application that was in the global scope itself

[DaisyB057891995]

We have a legacy custom application design more than a decade back. It was under the Global scope itself. We would like to decommission the custom application now.

I am using System Applications > My Company Applications > Select the Custom Application > Delete button.

But it gives me the following error.

Do I need to delete each and every Form/Table/Scripts/Notifications, etc. present in this application from Studio, before trying this : System Applications > My Company Applications > Select the Custom Application > Delete button

Hi @DaisyB057891995 ,

I have created sample global application now for testing(not one in the screenshot) I did get same error

what I had done is I have deleted all the application files related to that application 

I was able to delete the application post that 

do the same delete the application files related to that application and then delete the application

ideally the delete button should take care of this but it's not

Thanks Chaitanya for the prompt response. I tried that but since it’s quite an old application, there is a huge list of application files and some of them were not getting deleted. Example out of 100, it shows ‘Delete 67 out of 100’ and so on. Any suggestions for such cases?

HI @DaisyB057891995 ,

what application types are those? (ACL?) 

if they are acls or ACLs related elevate yourself to the security_admin and try deleting them 

if still having issues try background script with setWorkflow(false)
