You delete a solution from its three-dot menu on the Home Page, or from the menu next to its name inside the solution. The solution and everything in it go to the Recycle Bin, where it can be restored for a set number of days.
Here is the test: is the whole process finished, with nothing in it that anyone needs? Delete the solution. If only one table is done with, delete or hide that table instead.
Example: a risk team ran a one-time Pandemic Risk Review solution. When the review closes, the team exports the final register, and a Solution Manager deletes the solution.
