Delete archive template

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to delete a WordPress Archive but I cannot find it in the list of WordPress Archives at Toolset > WordPress Archives.

Solution: The missing WP Archive is in "draft" status, not "publish". Draft archives are currently not displayed in the WP Archives list, so this one will not appear until it is published. From wp-admin > Toolset > Dashboard, click the link to edit this archive. Or if you know the draft archive ID, you can go directly to the archive editor at a URL like this:

https://yoursite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=12345&action=edit
Replace 12345 with the archive ID.

Publish the archive temporarily, and it will appear in the main archives list at Toolset > WordPress Archives. Then you can Trash / Delete the archive from the list.

If you go to Toolset > WordPress Archives it will show a list of the custom archives you have created, and you can trash any archive from there (and then delete it from the trash).

Is that not working?

Hello, this is odd...what happens if you click the "Liste formation" link shown in the Archive column for the Formations post type in Toolset > Dashboard?
If you are redirected to another page in wp-admin? If so, please take a screenshot of the destination page, and include that in your next reply. Also please copy + paste the URL of the destination here in your next reply.

Okay it looks like this archive is in draft status, because the button says Publier (Publish). So the archive is not yet published. I suspect there is a problem in the software because draft archives cannot be seen in the main WP Archives dashboard list. You can try temporarily publishing this archive by clicking Publier:
hidden link

Then return to the main WordPress Archive dashboard list, and this archive should appear. Then you can trash the archive and empty the trash to completely delete it. I am asking my 2nd tier support team to investigate the hidden draft archives. I think we should correct that problem if our developers are not yet aware of it. I'll let you know what I find out.
