Delete an application

Use the
FactoryTalk View SE Application Manager
 to delete a local or network
FactoryTalk View SE
 application. This removes the application from
FactoryTalk Directory
 so that it becomes invisible to other computers on the network.
Use the Windows Explorer to delete HMI project files from the computer hosting the HMI server. By default, the HMI project files are stored in the folder
C:\Users\Public\Documents\RSView Enterprise\SE\HMI projects
.
You should not delete an application that is in use. Before attempting to delete an application, make sure that all applications and services are shut down. This is particularly important if you are switching between multiple applications.

Application Manager
, the user must have the appropriate security permissions in
FactoryTalk Security
. The permissions required to delete an application are

 in the
FactoryTalk Directory
, which is the top level in the Explorer window.
