Delete

Description

Delete Blender data of a specified Data Type.

Rules

When deleting Data-Block Data Types, the default behavior is as follows:

  • Data that has more than one user is not deleted.
  • Data that is marked fake user is not deleted.

This behavior can be overridden using options described below.

Options

When deleting Data Types that are Blender Data-Blocks, there are several additional options available that modify the default behavior:

  • Delete Multi User — delete data if it has more than one user.
  • Delete Fake User — delete data if it is marked fake user.

Object Data Type also has the following options:

  • Delete Object Data:
    • Delete Multi User — delete object data if it has more than one user.
    • Delete Fake User — delete object data if it is marked fake user.

These options are available only on Data Types which are Data-Blocks.

Deleting Object Data

Object data will only be deleted if the object itself is deleted. E.g.: if the object has multiple users, the Delete Multi User option above must first be enabled before the object's data can be deleted.
