Delete Location

You can delete a location from your database if the location and any sub-locations are not referenced in the database, and you want it permanently removed from your system. For example, if you make a mistake while creating new locations, you can delete your mistake before users start to assign sponsorships.

When you delete a location, all sub-locations nested in the deleted location are also removed. If any of the locations are referenced in the database - for example opportunities, programs, sponsorship preferences - the location is not deleted and an error message displays. In this situation, you may want to consider designating the location “Inactive.”

To delete the location, from the Sponsorship Locations page, in the Sponsorship locations grid, select the location you want to delete. Select Delete. A confirmation screen appears; select Yes to remove the location from your system and return to the Sponsorship Locations page.
