How to delete Maintenance Plan?

  • Is there a proper way to delete a SQL Server 2005 Maintenance Plan using Management Studio so that its associated jobs will be automatically deleted at the same time? I deleted a Maintenance Plan yesterday (can't remember if I deleted it from Database Engine connection or from Integration Services connection). After deleting the Maintenance Plan I was unable to delete the jobs until I did some Googling and found out I had to delete associated rows from sysmaintplan_log, sysmaintplan_subplans, sysjobschedules, and sysjobs in msdb database. Thanks!

  • I just deleted a Maint Plan and it deleted the job automatically.

    (SQL 2005 SP3)

  • This has been my experience. Delete the plan, the job goes away. It does in 2008 , SP1, just tried it.

  • I was also successful today in deleting a Maintenance Plan and associated jobs in one step. Cannot replicate the problem I was having before. Anyway, thanks for replies.

  • The only time I have seen this problem was in trying to delete a maintenance plan that was created before a server was renamed.
