Delete An OU

You have created OU in Active Directory e.g mcse1

And for some reason such as you make a mistake or you do not need anymore this OU, you would like to delete this OU from your Active Directory. You right-clik on OU and try delete

This is default behavior and protection so you do not delete OU by accident when you are working inActive Directory console. If you would like to delete this OU from Active Directory you have to follow few steps bellow and remove the protection.

1. Click View, and then click Advanced Features.

First, clear permissions on the OU for which you want to remove protection. To do this, right-click the OU, and then click Properties

In the Properties go to object tab

1. Uncheck the "Protection object from accidental deletion" and click OK

Now try to delete that OU

Now the OU is deleted
