Deleting a structure

A structure can be deleted only when all of the following conditions are true:

• The structure is not assigned to a file.
• The structure is not referenced within an implicit group definition or as a structfield.
• The structure is not referenced by its alias as a structfield
• None of the structure’s keys are being used in a relation defined by another structure.
