How can I delete CMS collections in Webflow if I am unsure where to find the linked data?

To delete CMS collections in Webflow when you are unsure where to find the linked data, you can follow these steps:

1. Locate the CMS collections: In your Webflow project, go to the Collections tab. Here, you will find all the CMS collections present in your project.

2. Check for linked data: Select the collection you want to delete and click on it. In the collection settings, go to the Fields tab. Here, you can see all the fields associated with the collection. Look for any fields that have a blue link icon next to them. These fields indicate that they are linked to other collections or pages.

3. Identify the linked data: For each linked field, click on the field name to open its settings. In the settings, you will find a References section that shows where the field is being used. Take note of the pages or collections that are using this linked field.

4. Remove the linked data: Go through the identified pages or collections and remove the references to the linked field. For example, if a linked field is being used in a page, you need to edit that page and remove any references to the linked field. Likewise, if a linked field is being used in another collection, edit that collection and remove the references.

5. Delete the CMS collection: Once you have removed all the references to the linked field, go back to the CMS collections tab. Select the collection you want to delete and click on the delete icon (a trash can) at the top-right corner of the collection settings panel. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

By following these steps, you can successfully delete CMS collections in Webflow even if you are unsure of where to find the linked data.
