Deleting Regions and Locations
It is important to delete all bookings in a location before deleting the location. Similarly, it is important to delete all locations contained in a region before deleting the region. Failure to do so may cause errors in the database.
We do not recommend deleting Countries, Regions, or Locations that have Zones, Groups, and Resources mapped to them. The Zones, Groups, and Resources must be moved to an alternative location first.
Next step
Create groups to manage the resources at the location. Learn about groups
