Delete an Explicit Hierarchy (Master Data Services)
In Master Data Services, delete an explicit hierarchy when you no longer need it.
Warning
When you delete an explicit hierarchy, all consolidated members in the hierarchy are deleted also. If you delete all explicit hierarchies for an entity, all collections for the entity are also deleted and the entity is no longer enabled for explicit hierarchies and collections.
