.. _Modify_DeleteWithSubclasses:

Modify > Delete with subclasses
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

This feature is available from the :ref:`ModifyMenu` for *classes*.
It can be used to delete the selected class together with all its subclasses.

.. caution::
   The operation is limited to the current asset collection, which means that when a class already has instances
   in other asset collections, those will remain in those collections and likely become typeless "orphans".
