Hi,
I have a list of old Subscriptions on a few servers, I would like to clear them down for ease and to aide the support team. Any ideas on how to delete these?

Many Thanks
Zara

Unless this is some sort of a joke, just go into EM and right click the Subscription and DELETE it!

It isnt a joke the only option I have is Help when I Right Click on the old Subscriptions. Obviously if it was as simple as a Right Click Delete I wouldnt be asking!

Dont select multiple subscriptions when u delete you have to delete them one at a time.

If help is all you have when you rigt click then you obviously do not have permissions to drop subscriptions.

Use sp_dropsubscription so you don't have to browse EM, below is the minimum permission needed to execute the command.

from BOL:

Permissions

Only members of the sysadmin fixed server role or db_owner fixed database role can execute sp_dropsubscription. A remote connection from the Subscriber can drop a subscription to an existing publication or article.
