You can delete a Manufacturer by making it inactive. An 'Inactive' status indicates a record is effectively archived. It will no longer appear in standard views unless specifically searched for.
Go to the Manufacturers module and click on the Manufacturer's name
On the General Details tab, untick the 'Active' Status box
Click [Save]
The 'Antoinette' Manufacturer in this example will no longer display on the default Manufacturer list view
If you decide to work with the Manufacturer again, you can remove the 'Active' filter in your list view by clicking on the 'X' next to Active, to reveal inactive records.
To make any inactive records active again, click on the inactive Manufacturer name and follow the steps in reverse. To return to the default view that only displays active records, click on the 'Reset Filter' button.
