The functionality extends to updating the list of unused objects and deleting them.

How to delete Displays or Other Objects

- Select and Delete: Choose the Display to delete and click the Delete button (X) on the DataGrid toolbar.
For other objects, follow a similar procedure in their respective configuration tables.
Handling Disabled Delete Button or Error Messages

In this case, it's necessary to locate and remove its references, so you can then delete the object.
Finding and Removing Object References
- Search: Click the Search icon on the main toolbar or open the Find Results panel.
- Type and Find: Enter the object name to search for its references. Example: Searching for Display.Logon shows all locations where Logon is used.
- Navigate and Remove: Double-click on the references in the Find Results table to navigate and remove them, either by deleting the configuration or replacing the object.
Final Deletion
- After removing all references, return to the main definition table and delete the object.
- Alternatively, delete it from the Unused Objects table.
