Determine whether you need to delete a rule for a fragment root or fragment parent.
-
Click either the Fragment Roots icon or Fragment Parents icon, under the specified database.
-
Locate the fragment rule you want to delete and click Delete. A confirmation message appears.

Deleting fragment rules has no impact on the fragmentation that has already been applied to documents loaded into the database, unless reindexing is enabled for the database.
