In the DMA there is an element that can't be deleted. The "delete" button is greyed out, the edit dialog window shows only greyed out options and moreover can't be applied.
This element doesn't exist in the Elements folder.
How to get rid of such element?

Hi Milos,
This is likely a Dynamic Virtual Element (often referred to as DVE), which is generated & managed by a parent element.
You'll need to take action in the parent element to remove the DVE element.
By default, a DVE name has the following structure "Parent element"."Child element".
In that case, you can easily find the parent element.
The default naming can be overruled, in which case you'll have to try and identify the parent element by searching for elements with the same polling ip.

Hi Milos, are we talking about an element here that at some point was created by an administrator. Or are we talking about an element that was integrated with the DataMiner software? If the latter, could you give us the name of the element? There are several reasons why you might not be able to delete an element.
