Hello CD,
We’re using the new command and control architecture and we created a system, but now we want to delete it. We tried deleting the folder and the controller VI in the Subsystem SubVI, but it didn’t work.
Does anyone know how to delete a subsystem in the new Labview architecture?
The reference within the subSystem VI where all subsystems are called. Delete it and the subsystem is in your project, but not a part of the deployed code.
Delete the project folder to remove from he project.
Delete from disk to get rid of the actual source.
What does it mean to say it didn’t work? What failed, or what what didn’t work as you expected?

We will try this method. We did the first 2 steps, but we didn’t get into actually deleting the source from our disk.
When I say it “didn’t work”, I mean, we tried creating the same subsystem again, and it said that the “name was already used”.
A little background, we created the subsystem “Shooter”, but forgot to put commands in. I wanted to teach the students how you’re supposed to do it (even though I know you can add them in later). So, I wanted to delete the “Shooter” subsystem and try creating it again.
Makes sense. I think the wizard started to copy the files and didn’t want to step on ones that had the same name. So delete them from disk first or give them a unique name.
By the way, the wizard refers them as operations because they will not likely be one-for-one with commands. One operation of Set arm height can be used for one command with a height parameter or numerous commands with constant heights such as – Arm to floor, arm to max height, arm to draw bridge height.
So while it is a slippery slope, I found it useful to keep operation (a set point value) separate from command (a group of set points that includes an operation).
