From the FEATURES view, removing a feature can be triggered by either:
•right-clicking the feature and selecting Remove from the context menu
or
•left-clicking a feature and hitting Delete on the keyboard
When the remove procedure is triggered, a confirm dialog is displayed.
|
Be aware: Even if the feature that is about to be deleted does not contain child features, there may be other objects deleted along with it: Whenever a component is assigned to a feature, and the feature is deleted, the component and all its contents (e. g. files, registry keys and values, COM class definitions, etc.) will be deleted if the component is not assigned to another feature. |
To execute the remove procedure, users click REMOVE. Please be aware that removed features cannot be restored.
|
Note: To suppress the display of the confirm dialog for future remove procedures, the checkbox displayed for the confirm dialog control may be activated in advance. If it is activated, future remove procedures will be executed immediately. Since deleting features may cause severe loss of data, it is not recommended to deactivate the confirm dialog. |
Users may exit the confirm dialog without removing the feature by clicking on DO NOT REMOVE or CANCEL.
