You may find that you need to delete a Database Map folder, table or field that is no longer required. If you want to delete a table all the fields within it will also be deleted. You must open Report Designer at the level at which the item to be deleted is stored. For example, if you want to delete a Client-level table, you must open Report Designer at the Client level.
You cannot delete Master level items. You could, however, save the Master item at a lower level and then edit the copied version.
