Best Practices and Recommendations

This section provides recommendations on how to proceed with cleaning up your Eloqua instance by considering the types of dependencies that the Eloqua assets can possess and the complexity of clearing out the dependencies.

As a framework to remove dependencies so that assets can be deleted from your Eloqua instance, dependencies get removed by dependent asset type. For example, if you remove dependencies for Contact Fields, these dependencies can exist in Segments, Contact Views, Campaigns, BULK Import/Export definitions, etc. The table below recommends that you remove the dependencies of Contact Fields from Bulk Import/Export definitions, then Contact Views, then Segments/Shared Filters, etc.
