Can't delete sample Membership Types
October 26, 2011, 06:39:52 am
I suspect this is a common problem, but I've been Google searching and can't find the answer ...

I have a brand new CiviCRM installation, I imported some contacts from a CSV file, and then noticed this funny "Inner City Arts" organization that apparently is stuck in there as "Sample" data (I never asked for any sample data, this "feature" should really be turned off).

In any case, I can't delete it because it's listed in a "Membership Type".  Attempting to delete any Member Type record failed because it's linked to (1) a contribution page, and (2) a contact.  OK, I deleted all the contribution pages, but when I go to the "CiviMember >> Find Members" page as it suggests and do the search, there are (no surprise here) no members.

So why can't I just delete these Member Types?

Thanks,
Chris

I have the same problem. It is a bit frustrating.

There is an option in the install script to not load sample data. So use that option when installing

You can also delete the contribution/membership pages from the sample data, then delete membership type and then the organization. Thats a longer way to do the same thing

I think I have discovered the problem. The user I was trying to delete was CiviCRM Internal ID 1 which may be the equivalent of Drupal User Id 1 and therefore can't be deleted. The error message is misleading. I've renamed the Inner City Arts user to CiviCRM Administrator, problem solved (for me.)
