3431022 - Unable to remove SAP Value Accelerator becauese a dictionary item or category keeps recreating itself

Symptom

Sometimes, dictionary items or categories keep re-creating themselves for the SAP value accelerator, and it can be difficult to remove them.

Resolution

Please refer to the user guide Deleting Installed Value Accelerators, for how to remove the contents. 

Key points:

When at the section, "Delete dictionary categories", please see if you encounter any errors when deleting a SAP value accelerator related category. If you do encounter an error, then the delete process will fail. As the help guide says, "You also have to delete all attribute definitions used by this category", meaning all custom attributes for the dictionary items and categories need to be deleted/removed first.

If the items or categories re-appear after removing them, wait one hour, then remove the item or category once only, wait another hour and check if the item has been removed.
