This topic describes how to use the BizTalk Server Administration console to remove a map from a BizTalk application. You might want to remove a map after deploying a new version of the map. For more information and important considerations for updating application artifacts, see Updating BizTalk Applications.

When you remove a map, the following occurs:

• The map is deleted from the BizTalk Management database.
  
  
• The BizTalk assembly that contains the map is deleted from the BizTalk Management database, but is not removed from the local file system or the global assembly cache (GAC), if it exists in these locations.
  
  
• As a consequence of the BizTalk assembly being deleted, all artifacts contained in the assembly are removed deleted the BizTalk Management database as well.
