Deleting API Specs and Fragments

To delete a design project for your API spec or fragment from Anypoint Code Builder, delete the entire project folder. If you imported the API spec from MuleSoft VCS or if your project was created with earlier versions of Anypoint Code Builder (prior to February 2024) that required storage of the spec in the Anypoint SCM, you can also delete the project from MuleSoft VCS by accessing Design Center. Deletion is necessary if you want to reuse the project name for a new design project in Anypoint Code Builder.

Before You Begin

Set up and access the web or desktop IDE.
Create a spec or fragment.

Delete an API Spec from Anypoint Code Builder

To delete an API project (API spec or API spec fragment) from Anypoint Code Builder:

In the Explorer view, right-click on the folder and select File > Open Folder.
Locate the folder for the project to delete.
Right-click and select to delete the folder.

Delete an API Design Project

API design projects imported to Anypoint Code Builder from Design Center or created in Anypoint Code Builder before the February 2024 release automatically connect to MuleSoft VCS, which enables you to sync with a corresponding design project.

Design project names must be unique. To create a new design project with the same name in Anypoint Code Builder, you must delete the existing project from the IDE. If your design project is stored in the Anypoint SCM, it also exists in MuleSoft VCS. You can also delete it from MuleSoft VCS by accessing Design Center if you choose.
