Hi!

No, you can't delete a data element, until it is not removed from all table, where is is used.

Use the where used button to know this in SE11.

you shouldnt even think about it

a dataelement itself has nothing much to do with a table.

a table has fields, and these might be declared of a type of a dataelement.

deleting a dataelement which is used in an active table, will lead to a Short dump next time the table/field will be used.

Hi..

A Data element can be used by Many Table/Structure fields.

So it cannot be deleted in a Table.
