Deleting old case types

Users

Is there a way to delete case types no longer in use? The modules have been
deleted, but the case types are still showing up on the list of possible
types when doing a case import from Excel.

Thanks.

Hi Kevan,

That usually means that you still have older cases in your project that use
the old case type. Unfortunately at the moment there isn't a way to remove
those cases from our system.

If it is a large issue, please send me an email off the list and we can
discuss ways to deleting data from your project.

Thanks,
Sheel
