Remove or Delete a Key Qualifier

To reduce clutter and avoid reaching your org's limit for key qualifiers, remove and delete unnecessary key qualifiers from the system. To delete a key qualifier, first remove it from all the data lake object (DLO) fields that it’s associated with and then delete it. You can also just remove a key qualifier from a DLO field but not delete it from the system. Removing a key qualifier from a DLO field can potentially affect the accuracy of calculated insights, segments, activations, and API queries.

Required Editions

Note
Note To remove key qualifiers from a companion org, remove them from the home org and wait at least 10 minutes for the companion org to sync with the home org.
