How do I delete a custom graph in SAS Visual Analytics Graph Builder?

Hi all,

I'm using SAS VA 8.5 and I was able to create a custom graph using SAS VA Graph Builder. However, I changed my mind and wanted to delete the custom graph to avoid any confusion. How do I do it? There're plenty of questions on how to build a custom graph but I could not find any post on how to delete it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Depending on your level of access and the security model in place within your SAS Viya Env, you may need an admin's assistance.

Objects (reports, custom graph, etc) saved in the SAS Content folder structure can be deleted from Environment Manager. Here is a screen shot showing what it would look like (note that i keep all custom built graph objects in a folder called zCustomGraphs):

Once you are in EnvManager, click the Content chicklet. then browse to the custom graph you no longer want to keep. right click and delete that object.

good luck!

I opened Graph Builder and browsed to the location of the graph. There is a delete icon in upper right corner of the Open dialog box. I was able to use that to delete the graph.

Oh yeah, I saw the icon now that you mentioned it. Haha silly me! Thank you, Madelyn!
