Summary


Details

The customer is able to delete almost every component they did not need in their library by setting them to the "Obsolete" state and deleting them with the "Component Deletion". 

However, there remain some components they want to delete from the library but they are not able to do so because Solid Edge Electrical Parts advises them that the components are used.

The parts shown below in 'Components in Use' cannot be deleted due to the fact that they are used in assemblies elsewhere but these assemblies cannot be found.




Solution

The workaround is as follows:

1. Make a backup of the database. 
2. Export the entire library from Solid Edge Electrical. Only supported groups will get exported (i.e. the default database). 
3. Then run DeleteLibraryParts.sql to clean up the library. 
4. Lastly re-import the exported file.
