What problem are you trying to solve here?


There is no reason to ever delete an update set.



Are you trying to back out a change, or revert some customisation?

Hello Paul,

If you have only Loaded or Previewed the Update Set (not committed) you can delete it without any issues.



If you have Committed the Update Set, you must not delete it under any circumstances.


As Abhishek has mentioned, simply hit the Back out UI button on the Update Set.



Please note that you can only Back out the last committed Update Set and some change (such as Tables and Dictionary entries) may not be reversible.


You have to back out in the reverse order that you committed.
