Deleting Lists

I'm hoping someone has a trick to do this. I have a lot of lists that were saved from extractions that I was working on for mailing/telefunding campaigns, that I have since then decided not to use, but I am unable to delete them.

I get the error message that this list is in use and cannot be deleted but I have gone through so many of my lists and extractions and do not see any of these lists in use (nor should any of my collegues be using them.)

How can I delete???? I know I could just inactivate them, which I have. But they still show up in list manager and I would like to get rid of them all together because their presence is more confusing than anything else.

Suggestions???

  • We have started a control group called inactive / unused items
    only system Admin is in this control group (so all the users don't see these items)
     
    we use this control group whenever we want to make items disappear that cant be deleted (outdated drop downs that were used twice in the system , and so on)
     
    your system admin would have to set those to the lists, but it is worth a try ...

    We did the same thing with Control Groups, but I created one that no one has access to and put all the lists in there.  We decided to archive old lists that no one was using, so it didn't add any benefit to have them available for the Tessitura Admins.  I could always add myself to the group if I need to see the lists, but that hasn't happened yet.
