Use the Delete Collection Wizard in Configuration Manager 2007 to delete a collection as well as to display the properties of the collection you want to delete. Reviewing this information can help you determine the effects of deleting the collection.

Note
If the collection you are deleting is linked to another collection, the Delete Collection Wizard will present you with an abbreviated version of the wizard. In this version, you will be asked only if you want to delete this instance of the collection. If you choose to delete this instance, other instances of the collection will not be affected. Additionally, because at least one other instance of the collection will still be present, the deletion effects covered by this wizard do not apply.
