You can use the SCRM Administrator console to remove a data source that is not needed. You can remove a data source only if no previous DTS jobs for the data source have been run; otherwise, you can only disable the data source.

When a data source is disabled, no data transfer occurs from the data source to the SCRM warehouse until the data source is re-enabled.

Grooming jobs associated with a deleted or disabled data source are not disabled. Data is groomed-out as it ages.
