Ensure that you deactivate a list definition before deleting it. Deleted definitions can’t be retrieved.

1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Actionable Segmentation, and then select **Actionable Segmentation Settings**.
2. Locate the actionable list definition that you plan to delete, and click the corresponding **Dataset Name** entry.
    
    The Data Processing Engine page is launched, and the data processing engine definition that’s associated with the list definition is shown. Keep this page open.
3. Go back to the Actionable Segmentation Settings page.
4. Click the action menu of the list definition, and then select **Delete**.

    Note Deleting the list definition removes the status values and default columns, but doesn’t delete the associated data processing engine definition.
5. Go to the Data Processing Engine page that was launched before deleting the actionable list definition.
6. Deactivate and then delete the data processing engine definition.
