Most records (addresses, donations, tickets, etc.) in the database can be deleted while you are editing them, if you have the security level to perform a delete. Deleting will always entail several steps to make sure that you definitely want to delete the record before it is permanently (and irrevocably) removed from the database.
To delete a
Household or
Organization, you will need to go to the ADMIN page tab and choose the correct delete button. This process will check to see if there are records attached to this
Household or
Organization that prevent it from being deleted (such as Donations or other income records). In this case, you cannot delete the
Household or
Organization so long as those records are still attached. You will need to delete or move those records before you can delete the
Household or
Organization.
