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

If you're removing a connector, consider the following checklist. Depending on your configuration, this list may 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. Log in as `openidm-admin` and click Configure > Connectors. Find the target connector, select the \[vertical ellipsis] > widget. In the pop-up menu that appears, click Delete. The admin UI will automatically make the specified changes to the noted configuration files.
