Cool, thanks for clarifying - in that case you'll definitely want to check out the Delete Records smart service.

Well I just started and my Appian development journey so I am used Record Type Data which is synced.
My other Appian experience so far has been going through the Appian exam prep.

[quote userid="91576" url="~/discussions/f/new-to-appian/28386/deleting-dses-require-cdts-cdts-are-not-recommended-so-now-what"]says that most of the time you should not use CDT [/quote]

This is strictly referring to when you're building out Synced Records, i.e. Record Type Data, which is the "newer" approach Appian now recommends (but which, so far, most existing implementations don't use, or are only just starting to experiment with).

If you are using Synced Records for your data already, then you'll want to look into using the Delete Records smart service.
