Delete Deprecated Items from Your NPSP Org
Nonprofit Success Pack has changed over the years. As we improve the product, there are inevitably deprecated items that are no longer required and as part of our cleanup efforts, we mark items for deletion so that you can safely remove them from your org if you'd like to. Keep in mind that you don't have to remove them—these deprecated items won't have any impact on your org.
We strongly recommend you delete the metadata in an upgraded Sandbox org and test your daily processes before deleting in an upgraded production org.
These items can include:
- Custom Fields in Objects or Settings
