Deleting a Release
Description
In Zephyr Enterprise, projects consists of releases that assist in organizing your testing. By default, when a project is initially created, there will always be a default release. This default release is labeled as "Release 1.0". Users can delete releases within a project which completely removes the deleted release from the project. Any data such as requirements, test cases, test executions, and defects in the release will be deleted from the project. To learn how to delete releases, please view the steps below.

Deleting Releases
Prior to Deleting a Release
Prior to deleting a release, there must be an existing project that has been created in Zephyr Enterprise. The project must be selected and the user must have selected the manage release button explained in the Release Setup section.
Scenario: You are a testing manager that just created a project called "Mercury" and you are managing your releases within project Mercury. You currently have 2 releases in the system. As a testing manager, you want to delete an existing release in project Mercury. You will be deleting "Release 3.0" and remove it from the project.
If this is your first time deleting a release, you might want to create and work in a test project that doesn't affect another project, and work out any issues you might have with deleting a release before you work in a live project. This is important is make sure you are not deleting any important releases from live projects.
1. In 'Manage Release', simply click on the 
icon at the right side of the table for the release that you want to delete from the project. (In our scenario, we'll be deleting "Release 3.0")
2. A warning module will pop up asking, "Are you sure you want to delete this?" and then you click the "OK" button.
3. A second module will pop up asking, "This change cannot be rolled back, continue with delete?" and then you click the "Delete" button.
- You can immediately see that the deleted release is no longer within the project.
