Sometimes, it’s necessary to make a published BSSV obsolete or even delete it. If your objective is to make the object obsolete, a few workarounds exist. For example, you can set the system code of the object to 88 so that it will not be included in any of the builds. However, if the requirement is to delete the object completely, a different process is required. Read below to find out how!
