Fully Delete a Solution
How do I fully delete a Solution?
I created a solution, and early in the build process, I realised I hade made a bit of a mess of it, so I thought I'd delete the solution and start again from a clean slate. I did delete it, and attempted to re-create it, from scratch, however elements of the previous 'mess' attempt remain. As evidenced, I can still restore my forms to versions created before I 'deleted' the mess. How do I fully delete a solution, to allow me start over with a completely clean slate?

Thank you Matthias Walter. It looks like that applies if I want to delete *all* solutions from a site. On my Dev & Test site (and indeed, on other sites too), I have several Solutions. How to proceed if I want to fully delete only *one* Solution, on a site with several Solutions, and leave the other Solutions intact?

Hi John Roberts,
even it is not recommended and skybow Best Practice to have multiple solutions in one site (skybow Best Practice - Do's and don'ts) we are aware of this is technically possible
If you still have multiple solutions and want to get rid of *one* solution, then do not delete the complete hidden libraries as described in the article in step 1, but delete specific .aspx files used e.g. for Rich Forms or Action Links.
In the libraries sbSolutionStudio and sbSolutionAssets there is a folder with the solution ID as name for each solution. You can find the correct solution ID in the url if you open a solution in Solution Studio:
Delete this folder in those two libraries. Do not delete the folders in Site Assets.
Kind regards
Matthias
