### 3.15.8. Deleting unused component names

When you reassign component names in the Component Names View, you automatically create new component names if the name you enter did not previously exist in the Project.

Larger Projects can often end up with a number of component names that are no longer used. You can see and delete these names in the Component Names Browser. The names in the Unused Component Names category (Figure 3.25, “The Component Names Browser”) are not used anywhere in this Project – they are not present in any Test Cases and they have not been mapped to any technical names from the AUT in the Object Mapping Editor.

To delete unused component names, select the name you want to delete and select:

Delete

from the context-menu.

| To cleanup component names that are only used in mappings, or that are no longer used for a specific AUT, use the function Cleanup unused component names in the Object Mapping Editor (Section 3.20.3.1, “Removing unused component names from the Object Mapping Editor”).
