How can I delete Custom Data Sets?
October 10, 2010, 11:22:51 am
I'm a newbie, here and to CiviCRM.  Using CiviCRM 3.2 on Drupal 6.19, I created some Custom Data Sets as "tabs" - quickly discovered I really needed them "inline."  Couldn't figure out how to delete or edit them, so I created additional ones (with similar but not the same names).  Now I want to clean up the record view by deleting the tabbed custom data sets.  Can't find instructions anywhere.  I did find this one reference: "CiviCRM allows you to either Disable or Delete custom data groups and/or fields" at this page (http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRM/Configure+Custom+Data) - but it appears that may be out-dated documentation.   Help, please - and thank you.

Rob - Shame - you can switch a data group from being Tab to Inline.

Go to Administer > Customise > Custom Data

then you can disable delete the fields and the group.

If future if you need to change, the option is in the Settings for the Data Group
