Removing old unused test objects form astaro

How do you remove test and unused settings you add to the system. Like for example where you create the things you drag form the side menu how do you remove no longer vaild or test ones to keep the system clean and running and so that you do not confuse your self. I would like to know how to keep them clean.

Hi,

just simply delete them. Or create a backup from your clean system (before testing) and restore it after the tests.

As Tov said --- I do think there is a feature request out there to allow an admin to search for unused objects directly... check out feature.astaro.com and vote for it there.

There are a few areas, where once an object has been added, the system will not allow it to be saved with no objects, like allowed networks sections or users/groups boxes. There's a "trick" to get around this. Create a "dummy" definition object to add to that area. After it has been added and saved, delete the "dummy" definition object.

But when they are no longer in use they are still stored for feature pull when the menu comes back up like a few days later and there is no way to remove them form that menu when they are tied into nothing.

When you delete the "dummy" definition object it is removed from all places in the configuration, even disabled ones.

Yes. It's no problem.

Dummy= a throwaway object you create strictly for the purpose of deleting. [:)]

They really need a delete key click and simple lol hopefully in the feature maybe I will give it a try if i recall i found a way to clean them out by simply deleting them by clicking on them then delete but that was back earlier in the year.
