Hello,
Not quite two months into our Acumatica implementation. I have some older customization packages/version I’d like to remove from production. Is it truly as simple as selecting the row of the customization version and selecting X to delete?

Removing old customization packages/versions

Yes, it is.
As long as it is not published (Acumatica doesn’t allow you to delete a published customization package).
Important note: if you rename a published customization package it will allow you to delete it, effectively leaving customizations published. So I recommend you never rename a published package.
If you ever do it, just rename it back to the original name and unpublish first.
+1Yes, then click the save button.

Thanks for the replies. In this case, we published subsequent versions e.g., 5, 6, 7 but never unpublished any of the predecessors. In other words, version 5 was published, we get version 6, publish that but never unpublished 5.
I’m assuming the subsequent publishing of 6 overwrote 5 even though it was never technically unpublished?
+3I cannot be sure without looking at the actual customization packages.
Did you upload them to a different line or did you overwrite the existing one with the new version?
+3OK, then you can just delete all the unpublished old versions.
When you publish a new one with the old ones unchecked you are actually unpublishing all the unchecked versions.

Thanks Marco, appreciate the insight.
