Re: [Dhis2-users] Dear Dhis2 users how can i delete?

 

Hi,

The only two commands you should run on your database are the two delete
statements;
delete from datavalue_audit where dataelementid=<id>;
delete from datavalue where dataelementid=<id>;

"Replace" is not a command, just Lars telling you to change the <id> in the
two commands above with the real IDs of your data elements.

Seems all is fine then. You can now try deleting the data elements from the
DHIS 2 user interface.
