Delete a Solution
Depending on the type of solution that you want to delete, you will see one of the following Confirm Deletion messages:
- Managed solution
- “You are deleting a managed solution. The solution and all its components will be deleted. This action cannot be undone. This solution might take several minutes to uninstall. You cannot cancel the uninstallation after it starts. Do you want to continue?”
- Unmanaged solution
- “You are deleting an unmanaged solution. The solution will be deleted but components that are contained in this solution will not be deleted. This action cannot be undone. Do you want to continue?”
To delete a solution programmatically use the IOrganizationService.Delete method. For more information, see Delete a Solution.
Uninstall a Managed Solution

Delete an Unmanaged Solution
An unmanaged solution is a group of solution components. Deleting the solution deletes a single solution record in the database. Solution components are not affected by the solution being deleted, they remain in the system.
