Tip: Rather than delete a country entry, you can mark it as inactive. Inactive countries and their settings remain in the database but do not appear as options for users when they enter address information. To mark a country as inactive, edit the country and select Inactive. For information about how to edit a country, see Edit a Country.
When your organization no longer uses a country entry, you can delete it so users cannot select it when they enter address information. To delete a country entry, select the country on the Countries tab of the Countries and States page and click Delete. On the confirmation message that appears, click Yes.
