Deleting a model (Model Explorer)
You can delete a complete model, or specific versions of a model through Model Explorer and Modeler.
When using the Delete command, Model Explorer deletes model versions as follows:
When versions are not shown in Model Explorer, if you delete the trunk of a model, Model Explorer deletes the complete model.
When versions are not shown in Model Explorer, if you delete the branch of a model, Model Explorer deletes all versions of that branch.
When versions are shown in Model Explorer, if you delete a version of the model, Model Explorer deletes only that version.
