You can delete business object definitions from an integration
component library through System Manager (if you are using ICS and
System Manager is running) or from a project in Business Object
Designer Express. You cannot use the Delete function in Business
Object Designer Express or in System Manager to delete local files
that contain business object definitions. To delete local files,
use the tools provided by Windows.

a project using Business Object Designer Express, do the following:

the Deleting business object confirmation
message. Click Yes to delete the business
object definition you selected in Step 2 or to delete all the business object definitions
you selected in Step 3.

business objects, Business Object Designer Express displays
a collapse delete confirmation message.

All dependencies with other business objects are listed for the
business object definition that you want to delete.

object definition that you selected in Step 2 and all of the business objects that depend on it.

the business objects that you selected and all of the business objects
that depend on each of those business objects.
