Deleting Lists?

Hi everyone!

I'm taking this down-time to do some system cleanup and was wondering how you all handle old lists?

Currently, I've been inactivating them, but some are over a year old (either create date or last generated).  Is deleting lists a no-no, or does it really depend on if you think a specific list will ever be used again?

Thanks!  I know it's different based on each organization, but I'd love to hear your best practices!

  • Good question: we haven't had this conversion about Lists, but I convened a set of meetings to discuss and plan out a strategy for deleting old Extractions, as those can really clutter up the interface of that old utility.  I would recommend going over it with some of your power users and coming up with a strategy, one that perhaps includes a way of flagging Lists that may only be used every other year or so, or which are not run, but used as examples to copy new Lists from, etc.
