Managed solution layers

Posted on by 2
We've recently started using Power Apps pipelines and deploying managed solutions. 
 
While manging the deployments I happened to come over the following issue:

Two different solutions, with the same content. One got deployed as base solution, and the other one as en update/patch. Now I want to get rid of the base solution (just the package) and not the elements, and it is not possible at all. Every time I try to empty it, to be able to delete it, it fails because it is trying to delete the elements instead of just emptying the package. Even if the elements exist in the other layer 2 package..

    @Michael E. Gernaey But the same elements are within another managed solution?

    I am not completely following. But if you installed a solution 1 first and it is what brought in the items, then you cannot simply delete it as it is the owner of those items.
     
    If it were an Unmanaged you could, because they would be added to the Default solution and deleting the solution doesn't delete the (elements) as you call them.
     
    This is not how managed solutions work. Its intentional
