|   | If you remove a connector used in a mapping while it's part of a scheduled task, you could experience unintended consequences. |

If you're removing a connector, consider the following checklist. Depending on your configuration, this list might not be comprehensive:

* Consider the remote resource. Make sure you no longer need data from that resource and that the resource no longer requires data from IDM.

* Open the `sync.json` file for your project. Delete the code block associated with the mapping.

* Review the `schedule-recon.json` file. If it contains the schedule for a single operation, delete the file or update it as a schedule for a different mapping.

When these steps are complete, you can delete the connector configuration file, typically named `provisioner-*.json`.

You can also delete the connector using the admin UI:

1. Sign on as `openidm-admin` and click Configure > Connectors.

2. On the Connectors page, find the connector to delete and click [icon: ellipsis-v, set=fas]  > Delete.

3. In the Confirm Delete modal, click Delete. The admin UI automatically makes the specified changes to the noted configuration files.
