Delete the external service interface and its data types

Caution

If a data type is used by another WSDL file from the external package, you cannot delete this data type.

To check which WSDL file is using a concrete data type, you can use Show type usages option from the context menu of the data type. Note that you may accidentally delete types that are used from artifacts, created at modeling time (such as business objects, application services, or structures).

To delete the service interface and its data types:

...

       1.      Click the Web service name with the secondary mouse button and choose Delete with data types.

       2.      In the dialog that appears you choose which data types to be deleted from the external package.

       This graphic is explained in the accompanying text - This icon shows the type is used by another external service interface in your application, so you cannot delete it.

       This graphic is explained in the accompanying text - This icon warns you that this type is referenced by business objects, application services, or structures. If you select and delete the type problems during model validation may occur. These problems are decorated with error markers. You have to resolve them yourself.

       3.      Complete the dialog.

Delete unused data types

You can delete not referenced data types that are not used by any service interface in the project. To do that, in the context menu of the external package, choose Delete all unreferenced types.
