Don't set items "un-deletable" on default

SaraJL

Hello!

I want to experiment more with Solutions, however, every time I create one to try to learn more about it and explore - it creates a massive amount of items and ArcGIS Groups on my account.

I get that it is creating a type of pre-made content that can be adapted, but some of the items are set so they can't be deleted, and now I have a massive amount of stuff floating around on my account that I can't delete without going through each individual piece. I try to bulk delete everything, but I get an error message saying that some items are locked.

If the items were created without that setting, then I could pick and choose what shouldn't be deleted. 

Thank you!

@SaraJL - A couple tips/tricks...

You can quickly delete all the contents of a solution (including the Solution item) by going to the Solutions app > My Solutions, and clicking the trash can icon.

Also, you can select several items in your content, and then click More > 'Disable delete protection', then you can delete the items. This will hopefully make things a bit easier for you. Unfortunately this only applies to items, not groups. You will still need to manually go into each group's settings to disable delete protection and then delete the group. Hope this helps.
