Deleted Web Configuration Parameters

Deleted parameters can be restored, edited or definitively removed.

If a value was defined for a Web Configuration parameter and the parameter deleted afterward, this value is still valid, because it is not deleted physically and the key can be called from inside the code. Deleted parameters that still have a value are listed in an extra group Deleted at the end of the parameter list. Values of deleted parameters can still be changed.

If you find deleted parameters that you still need, you have to re-create the respective Web Configuration parameter.

To delete definitively a Web Configuration parameter that is no longer used anywhere in the code:

  1. Delete the parameter's value by clicking Clear,
  2. Delete the parameter itself by clicking Delete.
    Note: This applies only to the configuration where a parameter is defined. If you click Delete in a child configuration, the parameter is reset to the value in its parent configuration. For more information, seeSetting Values of Web Configuration Parameters.
