Warning! If you delete a government body or body type, it will no longer be available in your system and you will not be able to retrieve it. You cannot delete a body if it is being used in the system; instead, you can clear the body’s Active checkbox. The body won’t appear as an option for new meetings or as an available option in the Sponsor, Requestor, or In Control fields in the Files module. However, an obsolete body remains in the database and appears in searches for historical actions, agendas, and minutes.
