I have a question.

Is it possible to remove a managed component, for e.g. a column or a form, which are coming from a managed solution, if I have added them into my own unmanaged solution?

Hello, @Kran, Managed components can’t be deleted. You have to export them from the source Environment as Unmanaged.

@AhmedSalih That was my belief too.

However I tested to remove a managed component (a form in this case) from my unmanaged solution, and to my surprise it was deleted from the system...

@Kran, if you are a System Admin in that environment, that is why.

@Kran, Yes, check this out for more information:

Depending on the type of solution that you want to delete, you'll see one of the following Confirm Deletion messages:

Managed solution
"You are deleting a managed solution. The solution and all its components will be deleted. This action cannot be undone. This solution might take several minutes to uninstall. You cannot cancel the uninstallation after it starts. Do you want to continue?"

Unmanaged solution
"You are deleting an unmanaged solution. The solution will be deleted but components that are contained in this solution will not be deleted. This action cannot be undone. Do you want to continue?"

To delete a solution programmatically use the IOrganizationService.Delete method. More information: Delete a Solution

Uninstall a managed solution
Deleting a managed solution will uninstall the solution. All the solution components defined in it are deleted.
