Deleting Components from a Package

The Delete Components function allows you to selectively delete components in a package across multiple libraries and subdirectories.

Running Delete Components Tool

Right-click a package in DEV status (or a package library or package components in the package); choose ZDD NetworkDelete components from the popup menu.

The Delete Components dialog box displays:

Selecting Components

There are two ways to select or deselect components for delete:

  • Select or deselect components individually using the check boxes in the list.

  • Use the "Selection filter" field to enter a name pattern with wild characters. Then press the Select or Clear button; the check boxes for all component names that match the filter are checked or unchecked.

    You may enter multiple pattern names, one at a time, and press Select or Clear for each entry.

Deleting Components Using Windows

You can also delete a component from a package as you would any other file in File Explorer; however, with this method, you can only delete components in one library or subdirectory at a time, making it cumbersome if you have multiple libraries and subdirectories.

To delete components using Windows, do either of the following:

  • Select the components and press the Delete key.

  • Right-click the components and choose Delete from the popup menu.
