Delete searches

You can delete any search definition for a search you no longer want to run or schedule. Deleting a search definition removes it from the
Searches
tab and the FactoryTalk AssetCentre database. It is recommended that you do not delete a search that is in the middle of a scheduled run. Therefore, delete only inactive search definitions.
Search results are emailed to a recipient list; they can also be exported and saved through the
Report
tab. Therefore, any saved results of a particular search will not be deleted with the search definition.
