Remove components from a managed package

Дата публикации: Apr 8, 2026
Описание

Once a managed package is released, its components are locked. To remove a component — for example, to eliminate deprecated functionality or resolve compatibility issues — partners must either use the Delete Managed Components feature or request that Support revert the package version to beta

Решение


In order to remove components from a managed-released package, there are two options:
 

1. Partners may request to enable the feature to Delete Components in Managed Packages in their packaging org by logging a case in the Partner Community. For details, see How to Create a Partner Community Salesforce Account in order to log a case. 
 

Note: Although a component is deleted, its Name remains within Salesforce. You can never create another component with the same name. The Deleted Package Components page lists which names can no longer be used.


Also, some Components Available in Managed Packages are not developer-deletable.

If a component can't be deleted using this method, you'll need to follow option 2.


2. Support can change the release version from Managed-Released, to Managed-Beta if certain conditions are met. Be sure to provide support with the following details:
 

i. Package Version details -  Name, version, etc.

ii. Package version in question and later versions should not be currently installed in any subscriber org (if installed, they need to be uninstalled)

iii. If the package version in question and later versions have patch org created. If you do have any patch org created, please mention that in your case and confirm if it is ok to purge the patch org. (Patch org needs to be purged to revert the package)

Note: We can't change a managed package to an unmanaged package.
 

Important Considerations:

 

  • The package will need to go through security review again, once changes are made and new version is released.

 

  • Review fee will also apply, please work with your PAM / TE for more details on the fee.

 

  • All subsequent released versions will also be reverted to beta, eg, if v1.2 is requested to be reverted to beta and v1.3 & 1.4 were released, all released versions after v1.2 will also be reverted.
