Important
Deleting Area Path values or reconfiguring Iteration Path values causes irreversible data loss in the following charts:
- Burndown and burn up widget charts
- Sprint burndown charts
- Velocity charts for teams with changed area paths
- Historical trend charts that reference the Area Path and Iteration Path values as defined at the time for each work item
You can delete area and iteration paths only when they're no longer used by any work items. When you delete these paths, you can no longer retrieve their historical data.
