    Question

    We no longer use Media Scheduling and want to remove it. How should we go about removing Media Scheduling data?

    Answer

    It is important to delete the data before having Media Scheduling uninstalled because of the links to Voyager data you will continue to use - you may see other errors when trying to work with or remove Voyager data in the future if you do not remove Media data now.

    Delete each of the following data types in the order listed. Failing to do so will result in errors deleting data types further down the list. If you encounter a problem deleting any of the data below, contact Support before moving on to the next data type.
